The European Commission’s newly released European Asylum and Migration Management Strategy signals an important change from short-term management to a long-term vision centered on attracting and retaining global talent. Alongside the first-ever EU Visa Strategy, the focus is clear: build a competitive, innovation-driven Europe with a modern, efficient, and talent-friendly mobility framework.
The Strategy outlines a strong push toward digitalized, simplified, and fast-track immigration procedures designed to make the EU more attractive, while also enhancing security, enforcement, and compliance oversight through advanced digital tools and AI-enabled analytics. For businesses, this means preparing for a more integrated and compliance-intensive environment, while also benefiting from new talent pathways, simplified documentation, and improved recognition systems.
