Partners

At EPRA we believe in dialogue and strong collaboration with peer associations and other EU stakeholders. We have been continuously building close ties with the bodies and organisations with whom we share common interests.

Established in 1962, Business at OECD (BIAC) is the officially recognized institutional business stakeholder at the OECD. We stand for policies that enable businesses of all sizes to contribute to economic growth, sustainable development, and societal prosperity. Through Business at OECD, national business and employers’ federations representing over 10 million companies provide perspectives to cutting-edge OECD policy debates that shape market-based economies and impact global governance. Our expertise is enriched by the contributions of a wide range of international sector organizations.

The Intergroup on Attracting Investment to ensure a competitive and sustainable EU aims to promote an overview on the multifaceted dimensions of investments and of the EU competitiveness agenda, over the legislature 2024-2029. As outlined in the Draghi report, we are currently in a time of both immense opportunity and challenges for Europe. The Intergroup should play a key role in two interconnected areas: public and private investments. The time to act is now, and Europe’s financial and industrial actors stand ready to play their part. EPRA is a proud partner of this intergroup and shares its main objectives, which you can find on their website.

The Cross Border Benefits Alliance-Europe (CBBA-Europe) is a Brussels-based advocacy organization, aimed at the monitoring and advocacy of European and national policies related to employee benefits, including – but not limited to – pensions, healthcare, disability, long-term care, or programs for the well-being of people in the workplace and in their private life. The Alliance brings together actors from different countries as well as organisations operating at the international level, within and beyond Europe, to create an environment for open and transparent exchanges. EPRA is collaborating regularly with the CBBA throughout European Retirement Week and beyond.

The European Real Estate Forum is an informal alliance of national and international organisations with an interest in institutional investment in European real estate, including investors, fund and asset managers, property professionals and property companies. The group was established to improve coordination on a European level in a spirit of open dialogue and exchange. Its objective is to improve the public awareness about institutional investment in real estate and increase understanding of its social and economic value as well as to support the policy making process affecting institutional real estate investment in Europe by improving knowledge and understanding of the sector.

European Retirement Week, taking place annually in the last week of November, provides a platform for a wide range of stakeholders to debate the future of pensions in Europe and raise citizens' awareness of the need to save for retirement and achieve pension adequacy.

In 2023, in its third iteration, European Retirement Week kicked off with an event on 27 November in Brussels, where the 14 European associations presented key recommendations to EU policymakers to ensure pension adequacy for all.
