Strategic plan 2025
After two previous Strategic Plans, the EUIPO now turns to the next phase in its evolution.
New thinking and new ways of delivering added value for businesses, institutions and society are now required, taking into account the future needs of all stakeholders.
"The EUIPO must continue to strengthen its position as an IP hub of excellence providing high quality public services that will assist European businesses to become more competitive in an ever more global and digital environment."
Christian Archambeau Executive Director, EUIPO

Strategic driver 02, advanced customer-centric services for all our users, especially SMEs. Effective and simplified working practices. Increasing added value to businesses.

Our vision in motion
SP 2025 Consultation
The Office adopted a transparent and inclusive approach for developing SP2025, starting with a staff and stakeholders’ consultation that ran from December 2018 until the end of February 2019 and continuing with a second public consultation that ran from June until mid-September 2019. Globally, more than 3800 proposals were received through the more than 90 contributions that were submitted in conjunction with several brainstorming workshops.
Ideas received were proportionally split among the three strategic drivers, as well as some regarding the vision and mission of the Office presented in the Draft. The majority of the external stakeholders contributed to SD1 and SD2 while staff made major contributions to SD3.
