The annual biggest conference of the year is AGORADA that takes place in Brussels to exchange best practices among the members and establish direct contacts with new initiatives from the European Commission. Every autumn AGORADA+ takes place in one of the members' territories to discuss and see in practice successful implementations of regional economic policies.

EURADA organises an annual brokerage event in March-April to help the members and any other development agencies of Europe to find suitable partners for their project ideas. An annual winter school in February in cooperation with OECD is organised since 2023, aiming at deepening the knowledge of the regions and territories and a forum for members of the association can discuss place-based policy evolution. A summer course in the first week of July helps the members to acquire the skills to prepare successful proposals for Horizon and other competitive programmes.

EURADA participates as partner in several projects and tenders: EuropeAid TAMSALL, European Cluster Collaboration Platform Service Contract, HORIZON PROTECT, HORIZON RAISE, H2020 POCITYF, H2020 Agro2Circular, ERASMUS + ALLVIEW, H2020 FRONTSH1P, HORIZON CLIMAAX, HORIZON ToBe, Harnessing Talent Service Contract, HORIZON K-CCRI, Hackathon Championship.

Those projects help facilitate the exchange of knowledge on support for SMEs, improve policymaking in SME policy instruments embedded in EU territories, and refines EU Research and Innovation Strategies (RIS3) to join up different economic actors with an aim of increasing innovation. EURADA participates as well in European tenders and service contracts that make valuable contributions to its membership.

Each year the Board of Directors of the Association defines the priorities of work to focus the impact of the activities of the association and to organise the activities of the association. most of them are related to technology innovation, finance, new industries or cohesion policy

EURADA works across a spectrum of thematic priorities. From arranging critical matchmaking opportunities for the development agencies of Europe, to following the latest policy developments in regional development at an EU level, EURADA’s engagement and time is always dedicated to following, and organized by, the pre-defined priorities of its Board Members.

Entrepreneurial support is a core activity of development agencies, and therefore, it is the main field of interest for EURADA. Representing 99% of all businesses in the EU, the SME’s role in fostering competitivenes is a priority of the EU. Afterall, a broad base of SMEs is very important for the economic development, wealth and sustainability of a region. At the European wide level, there is a drive to help create a business-friendly environment and boost SMEs' competitiveness on a regional level. EURADA is therefore involved in several aspects of EU initiatives and undertakings to help SMEs.
