The intergroup was set up at the end of 2014, in the context of the Juncker Plan, after a campaign involving different political groups of the
European Parliament (
Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats,
Group of the European People's Party, the
Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe), and actors from the public and private financial spheres and from the real economy, such as the European insurance and reinsurance federation (
Insurance Europe), the
European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (
UEAPME), the Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry (
EUROCHAMBRES), and the
European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). The campaign was initiated by the French
Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, the Italian
Cassa Depositi e Prestiti and the German
KfW. ==Membership==
