The Alliance for a Competitive European Industry has been formed in 2004 by 11 major European industry sector associations and BUSINESSEUROPE. The common objective of its members is to promote the competitiveness of European industry on a global scale. The Alliance therefore encourages a policy and regulatory framework that supports that objective, reinforcing and complementing BUSINESSEUROPE work in this respect by providing a sectoral perspective.

The industry sectors concerned represent the interests at EU level of some 6,000 large companies and 1.7 millions SMEs with a combined output of nearly EUR 5,000 billion turnover and EUR 1,300 billion added value. These companies directly employ about 23 million people in the EU.
