Our work with and for the EU

Sitra helps European decision-makers to envision a prosperous future and identify the concrete steps needed to get there.

We collaborate with a broad network of stakeholders, EU institutions and member states. By combining long-term vision with practical experimentation, we contribute to shaping a more competitive and resilient Europe, one that leads the way in addressing the world’s most pressing challenges.

We work actively at the EU level to: 

• Contribute to strategic foresight and enhance understanding of the EU’s challenges and long-term development trajectories.
• Support the green transition and economic growth within nature’s carrying capacity by promoting circular economy solutions, sustainable lifestyles and the integration of nature and biodiversity into business strategies and practices.
• Strengthen competitiveness and economic stability by harnessing data and technologies.
• Strengthen European democracy by advancing citizen participation and civic technologies. 

As an independent future-oriented organisation, we are specialised in foresight, practical experimentation and policy insights, placing them at the core of our collaborative impact work.
