Generation Europe is the movement of young Europeans building the cultural, social and political foundations of the United States of Europe.
Generation Europe is constituted as a civic association. This gives the movement a formal structure: members, an elected governing board, a statute and a defined institutional mission.
The association allows Generation Europe to move from conviction to action: from intellectual will to organised work. It gives the movement the structure it needs to endure, grow and act with purpose and continuity.
Becoming a member means entering the life of the association. Members can take part in assemblies, contribute to activities, join working groups, support local initiatives and participate in the collective work of building the foundations of the United States of Europe.
Generation Europe began at the end of 2024 from a conviction: that the first truly European generation had to organise around the historic task of European unification.
In spring 2025, that conviction became public. We created the online community and the first Generation Europe social media pages, giving the movement its first public form beyond the founding idea. Through those channels, thousands of Europeans began to gather around the movement, and some later joined the operational team behind it.
On 18 June 2026, Generation Europe entered its institutional phase with the formal foundation of the association. What began as an intellectual and generational intuition became an organised civic structure.
Generation Europe brings together young entrepreneurs, professionals, managers, innovators, researchers, scientists, intellectuals, artisans and citizens from across Europe who share one conviction: Europe cannot preserve its freedom, prosperity and place in the world while remaining fragmented.
We come from different countries, backgrounds and fields of work. Some of us build companies. Some lead teams. Some develop ideas, technologies and research. What unites us is not a profession, a background or a social class, but a common diagnosis of the European condition.
We have understood that European decline is neither an accident nor an unavoidable destiny. It is the consequence of a continent that has not yet given itself the institutional form required by its own scale, its own interests and its own historical responsibility.
For us, the United States of Europe is the necessary condition through which Europe can recover strength, sovereignty, industrial depth, strategic autonomy and the capacity to decide its own future.
Generation Europe is made of concrete and pragmatic builders willing to assume responsibility, build communities, develop projects and turn the idea of the United States of Europe into an organised civic force.
Every civilisation begins with the way it organises itself. Institutions are not an accessory to progress; they are the architecture through which human energy becomes collective power.
From that architecture flow industrial capacity, commercial strength, technological depth, scientific ambition, infrastructure, capital formation and strategic autonomy. When a continent is organised below its own scale, its talents are forced to struggle against the structure around them.
This is why European unification is not an abstract institutional question. It is the most practical task of all. Before Europe can fully compete, it must become capable of organising its own forces.
In this sense, Generation Europe is Europe's most important startup: not because it is a company, but because it applies the founder's logic to the continent itself — identifying the structural problem, gathering the people capable of solving it, building the organisation and scaling the mission.
