"The ESDP Economic Impact Report 2025 is more than a collection of data points; it is evidence of what is possible when resilience meets opportunity. I introduce this document in my first months as Managing Director, I do so with a profound sense of gratitude. Having been part of ESDP since 2024, I have seen firsthand how this organization has grown from a visionary idea into a vital engine for economic inclusion in the EU.

As you read these stories and data, I hope you feel the same optimism I do. We are building a more resilient, innovative, and warm economic future for everyone."
