About ELA

The goal of ELA is to make its members more competitive in the field of lightweight technology. Together, small and medium-sized businesses in Europe can effectively compete on the global stage. All European businesses and research institutes have greater access to clients, technologies, and best practices because to the collaboration within ELA. ELA is a potent platform for promoting the advantages of lightweight technology for trade and the environment at the same time. This technology not only offers a billion-dollar market, but it also lowers CO2 emissions and energy consumption, paving the way for a more sustainable future. ELA wants to highlight the importance of lightweight technology for policymakers and assist the Green Deal initiative of the European Union.
