The Danube Strategy
A region connected by common challenges.
The EU Strategy for the Danube Region provides a framework for countries and stakeholders to work together across borders.
What the strategy does
The EU Strategy for the Danube Region (EUSDR) was endorsed by the European Council in 2011. It coordinates cooperation around challenges that cross borders, connecting existing policies, institutions and initiatives.
The strategy is a cooperation framework. Its participating countries should not be read as a list of DCCF member countries.
Four connected areas
Connecting the region
Mobility, sustainable energy, culture and tourism.
Protecting the environment
Water quality, environmental risks and biodiversity.
Building prosperity
Knowledge, enterprise competitiveness, people and skills.
Strengthening the region
Institutional capacity, cooperation and security.
Where chambers contribute
Chambers bring business experience to regional questions: how goods move, where skills are needed, what holds investment back and how companies can cooperate across markets. DCCF’s economic themes connect these questions with a wider regional perspective.
