Electra Report: Mutual actions and demands can have a positive impact on developments

Electra Report: Twenty solutions for growth and investment to 2020 an beyond

Electra is an effort to exploit this synergy in the best possible way.

Provides industry’s response to a number of policy issues in the EU that affect the electrical and electronics engineering sector.

The industry represented in T&D EUROPE was identified as an important sector in developing and manufacturing which merits a policy dialogue analyzing future strengths and weaknesses to be addressed in the longer term.

A follow up initiative “Electra 2” is currently under preparation with Orgalime and the European Commission DG ENTR
