OUR IMPACT

Building a social market economy that cares

The digital revolution we are currently experiencing is leading to unheard-of technical progress and new business opportunities that will forever change the economic patterns, social systems, and the labour market.

The EPP Group supports upskilling the workforce in digital and green skills to ensure our Union’s competitiveness. Therefore, we urge the EU to foster new and existing talent, focusing on flexibility, upskilling and lifelong learning. We want a single market that works for everybody, leaving no one behind. Every European, regardless of their background, deserves a fair chance to earn a living and embrace the European way of life.

We believe our Christian democratic values are the strongest starting point for designing the future because they combine the best from conservative, liberal, and Christian-social ways of thinking.
