European Champions Alliance

The European Champions Alliance (ECA) is a non-profit initiative led by a group of passionate entrepreneurs and business development experts from France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The goal of the ECA is to support the rise of European digital champions and strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty.

The ECA is committed to creating an ecological network of start-ups, scale-ups, SMEs, corporations, and industry experts who advocate for European technology and values. The Alliance promotes collaboration across borders to facilitate the exchange of market knowledge and the activation of joint business opportunities. This aims to help European scale-ups realize their full potential in the European internal market and retain their headquarters in Europe[1][3][4].

• Networking and Collaboration: The ECA builds bridges between various players in the tech ecosystem in Europe, including start-ups, SMEs, corporations, investors, partners, associations, and governments. This enables the exchange of best practices and the creation of synergies[1][3][4].
• Strategic and Operational Support: The ECA provides hands-on support in areas such as international business development, sales, marketing, recruitment, governance, and operational growth through a pan-European network of service providers[1][4].
• Focus Groups and Events: The ECA organizes focus groups on topics such as cybersecurity, smart industry, green technology, health technology, and new mobility. These groups, led by industry experts, offer high-quality events and meetings that contribute to networking and information exchange[4].

The ECA works to strengthen Europe's digital sovereignty and achieve global competitiveness. By promoting collaboration and creating a supportive ecosystem, the ECA aims to empower Europe in B2B-related fields such as 5G, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, quantum computing, cloud and edge infrastructure, and industrial data strategy[4].

The ECA is shaped by authentic European values and a passion for technology, innovation, culture, cooperation, and smart competition. The goal is to create value for all partners and establish a win-win situation. The Alliance focuses on smart collaboration and the activation of a large network to create synergies and promote the rise of European digital champions[2][3].

Through its efforts, the European Champions Alliance significantly contributes to strengthening the European tech ecosystem and provides a valuable platform for companies looking to grow and expand successfully in Europe.
