2025 has highlighted our need to rethink how we work together. Collaboration and innovation are not just concepts; they are essential to adapting and working smarter and better as a community.
This year also marked the 25th anniversary of EA, and what a journey it has been. To set the tone for the future, EA developed a 2030 Strategy to remain adaptable and future-ready, foster consistency and coherence across all EA members, strengthen EA’s voice with European policymakers, and deepen collaboration both within Europe and globally.
As the year comes to a close, we would like to warmly thank all of you for your trust, engagement, and shared ambition. We wish you a joyful holiday season and a restful, inspiring New Year, and we look forward to continuing this journey together in 2026.
