We are proud to present the EA Strategy 2030 — a forward-looking roadmap designed to ensure that
accreditation continues to serve Europe’s citizens, businesses, and institutions with trust, coherence,
and innovation at its core.
Our world is changing rapidly. Digitalisation, sustainability imperatives, emerging technologies like
AI, and evolving global trade dynamics are transforming the way economies and societies operate.

Accreditation must not only keep pace with these developments but also shape the future by enabling
trust in new markets, supporting innovation, and reinforcing Europe’s commitment to quality, safety,
and resilience.

The EA Strategy 2030 sets clear ambitions: to stay adaptable and future-ready, to foster consistency
and coherence across all our members, to strengthen our voice with European policymakers, and to
deepen our collaboration both within Europe and globally. At the heart of this strategy lies our commitment
to competence, transparency, and partnership — values that ensure accreditation remains a
trusted foundation for regulation, trade, and public confidence.

We are particularly proud that this strategy embraces digital transformation, capacity building, and
the modernisation of the peer evaluation system. These steps will make accreditation more agile, riskbased,
and efficient—meeting the needs of regulators, businesses, and society in a rapidly evolving
world.

Together, with our members, stakeholders, and international partners, EA will continue to strengthen
Europe’s quality infrastructure and ensure that European accreditation remains globally recognised and
respected. The EA Strategy 2030 is not just a roadmap for the next 5 years; it is a shared commitment to
ensuring that accreditation drives trust, innovation, and progress well into the future.
