About EASN and its targets

EASN is mainly active in establishing Europe-wide consortia and the development and delivery of EU projects. Thereby the focus of EASN lies on accelerating the implementation of sustainable mobility, electric mobility as well as smart mobility (ITS) and on strengthening industry (SME) competitiveness in the involved areas.

In 2008 EASN has been established as a platform for European automotive regions and clusters as well as their companies, institutes and authorities. EASN aims at:

• Identifying opportunities for improving industry and SME competitiveness in the EU automotive industry
  
• Identifying opportunities for collaboration, enabling co-operation & joint EU projects
  
• Facilitating EU project development and supporting the development of EU funding applications
  
• Via the results of the EU projects, contributing to policy making at EU and national level
  

Via its clusters and other partners, EASN promotes:

• In-depth knowledge of the regional situations,
  
• Access to the Automotive industry, institutes and universities in the respective regions;
  
• Close contacts to SME companies in these regions;
  
• Access to local, national and EU government
  

In short, it is a powerful network connecting the main automotive regions and clusters in Europe.
