Goals / Remit
Founded in 1992, the European Association of Economic Development Agencies brings together professionals working on economic development in Europe. During these three decades EURADA has been supporting the internationalisation of regional economic practitioners; they can network, advocate, and participate at a European Union wide level.
A Development Agency is an entity that carries out an economic development mission characterised by the search of the collective or overall interest of an area (and not corporative or sectorial), and that is significantly linked with a local, metropolitan or regional authority with respect to management, financing or missions. A Development Agency is a designated public meeting place and support for local economic actors with a dynamic structure oriented to support consolidated enterprises and potential entrepreneurs. EURADA is their international well established facility.Main EU files targeted

Other activities
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.
