UNITEE plays a crucial role in Europe as it is the only organisation representing entrepreneurs and professionals with a migrant background, whom we refer to as New Europeans: people who live in Europe but have connections with more than just the country where they live.
Through its national federations and member associations, UNITEE represents entrepreneurs and business professionals across European countries and from all the major sectors of the European economy.
Vision
UNITEE works towards:
- An economically strong Europe.
We aim at strengthening European SMEs, the backbone of the EU’s economy.
- Sustainable, social and smart economic growth.
The EU’s economic growth should be a “healthy” one, namely by respecting the citizens’ well-being and the environment.
- Drawing its strength from the diversity of its citizens.
In particular, our ambition is to reach definite open-mindedness towards New Europeans’ assets for EU countries.
- Deeper economic relations with the origin countries of our members.
UNITEE aims at fostering our members’ role as an economic bridge between Europe and their country of origin
Mission
To create the Europe that we envision, our members have a key role to play. Due to their dual cultural and linguistic background, as well as their entrepreneurial spirit, New European entrepreneurs and business professionals constitute a major asset in terms of international trade, but also with regard to job creation and innovation.
Our mission is to represent and support New European entrepreneurs and business professionals through:
- European Advocacy
Advocate our members’ interests to local, national and European public authorities.
- Services
Provide a wide range of services to our members to aid them in their economic, social and cultural development. We encourage them to play a stronger role in their country of residence and at the European level.
