The European Institute for Future Generations (EIFG) is an independent research institute and pro-European think tank. Our mission is to navigate the opportunities and disruptions of the AI era to ensure Europe’s freedom, prosperity, and democratic order remain secure. We provide the "New Answers" required to address eroding Western self-image and rising geopolitical tensions. We empower the next generation with digital literacy and a tech-optimistic mindset, combining economic dynamism with social responsibility. Guided by the Social Market Economy and a subsidiary, lean state, we provide the impetus for a resilient and defensible social order.
We address the existential questions of the 21st century:
Sovereignty: How do we eliminate critical dependence on foreign digital infrastructures?
Integrity: How can we protect young generations from AI-driven manipulation and social media polarization?
Governance: How must democracy evolve to protect freedom in an era of hybrid warfare and cyber threats?
Identity: How can we reunite Europe in its diversity to create a sustainable identity between the US and China?
1. Technology at the Service of Europe
We advocate for decentralized innovation and AI sovereignty. Our goal is to ensure Europe remains a global actor rather than a digital colony, maintaining autonomy despite geopolitical tensions and the new industrial revolution.
2. Policy, Economy & Security
Operating from the Munich-Brussels axis, we influence economic, financial, and security policy. We champion an agile, deregulated EU that serves as an equal partner on the world stage, prioritizing a strong defense and a competitive market.
3. Identity & Human Values
Rooted in the Judeo-Christian foundation of European history, we promote a value-driven continent. In an era of synthetic actors, we emphasize human-centricity, a natural sense of "Heimat" (home), and the preservation of our cultural heritage.
The EIFG is a registered non-profit organization. Tech-optimistic. Market liberal. Value-oriented.
