About OrgalimWORKING TOWARDS…
Orgalim believes the current amount of legislation in the EU risks holding technology companies back.
The quantity of regulation that the EU has issued in recent years (13,000 new regulations between 2019 and 2024) is particularly challenging for emerging technologies, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
We advocate for streamlined legislation that avoids duplications, considers the administrative and practical implications of implementation, and supports European companies to grow and develop.

Europe is a global leader in research and innovation with the highest concentration of research centres and think tanks globally, and among the top investors in R&D per capita.
Orgalim advocates for research and innovation financing for European technology industries, particularly for strategic technologies that will ensure the EU’s competitiveness and resilience.

The European Union’s Single Market allows the free movement of over 450 million people, goods, services, and capital across 27 countries. It is unique as the largest and most integrated single market in the world, yet it is too fractured to be properly effective.
Orgalim advocates that the EU recommit to full integration and reducing the current fragmentation. We call for simpler rules, harmonised standards for products, and improved market surveillance to ensure non‑compliant or unsafe products and services do not undermine trust or allow unfair competition.

Orgalim advocates for clear and consistent digital policies. Current policies are unclear and inconsistent, which undermines their intended aims.
We believe that greater predictability and a long-term digital policy vision would support the EU’s competitiveness by enabling rapid technological advancement, while leading with responsible innovation.

Orgalim advocates for clean and secure energy supplies to Europe to deliver the EU’s net-zero ambitions, and allow European industry to remain internationally competitive while meeting climate targets.

We want decarbonisation, not deindustrialisation. With this in mind, Orgalim advocates for trade policies that will boost industrial competitiveness in Europe, including proactively pursuing Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), supporting agreements that ensure access to critical raw materials, and fostering economic security by allowing market-driven diversification.
