IT'S TIME TO ACT!
Europe's economy needs to act.The Advisory Council Transformation, Innovation & Digital Education (ACT) is a network that takes action. As an interest association, we combine expertise across borders: we connect business partners with professionals from all EU countries, develop joint strategies, create a European culture of innovation and shape the digital transformation with concrete results.
Think Tank. Expert Network. Knowledge hub.
The speed of technological progress has reached a new dimension. We are in an era in which it is no longer just humans who are driving change and progress, but also artificial intelligence (AI). This close interdependence of human and machine innovation is leading to an accelerated pace of lasting change. Companies are confronted with a situation in which continuous adjustment and constant change are becoming the norm — the permanent transformation.
ACT-Europe was founded as an association of the European economy for transformation, innovation and digital education to help companies actively shape this new reality within an independent and professional ecosystem.JOIN US AND ACT FOR CHANGE!

Our mission.
Das Ziel von ACT-Europe ist es, ein unabhängiges Ökosystem zu schaffen, welches durch Kollaboration, Vernetzung und Wissensaustausch Unternehmen darin unterstützt die zwingend notwendige wirtschaftliche Transformation aktiv zu gestalten. The goal of ACT-Europe is to create an independent ecosystem which, through collaboration, networking and exchange of knowledge, supports companies in actively shaping the absolutely necessary economic transformation. Together with our members, experts and partners, we are creating Europe's independent transformation and innovation hub.
Permanent transformation is the new normal.
Volatile markets, geopolitical uncertainties, technological disruption and complex transformation challenges require companies and organizations to adapt continuously. Resilience can only be built through dynamism, agility and a willingness to make lasting change.
Knowledge only develops its value through networking and application.
We are convinced that isolated knowledge is not effective — the exchange between disciplines, industries, companies and cultures is the key to innovation, productivity and digital progress.
Europe can only exist as a collaborative area of innovation.
We rely on multilateral cooperation to strengthen Europe's technological sovereignty. Europe must secure its economic and technological independence, which requires multilateral cooperation, a European AI initiative and the will to create a strong, independent innovation and economic ecosystem.
