Home to over 42 million people, the EuroDelta is the most urbanized region in Europe. Generating 12% of Europe’s GDP, it combines a thriving urban economy with its strategic role as a key gateway for goods and materials across the continent. Located in the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta, it is a cornerstone of European trade and connectivity.

With its innovative power and a shared commitment to addressing climate challenges and strengthening Europe’s autonomy, the EuroDelta is becoming Europe’s lighthouse for sustainability, equity, and prosperity.

The EuroDelta Alliance actively supports this movement.          You too?

The EuroDelta Alliance

The EuroDelta Alliance raises awareness of the EuroDelta’s unique position within Europe and sees it as an opportunity to accelerate the region’s transition. Together, we explore the region’s systemic connectivity and identify ways to drive change through targeted interventions, with a focus on spatial and economic development and mobility. We test innovative solutions in policy-making, market development, and action implementation to accelerate regional transformation while addressing local challenges. The Alliance was launched in May 2025 by 10 partners and is part of the METREX network. The EuroDelta Alliance is a dynamic transregional movement bringing governments, NGOs, academia, and business associations within the EuroDelta region together.
