#PowerUpEurope – Which Course Must Europe Steer to Compete in Polarized Worlds?
Yes, Europe is under pressure. Burdened by extensive bureaucracy and meagre growth, it struggles to find it’s common ground in the face of international crises and fierce economic competition. But still, the EU has been able to manage the disruptions of the past years, meanwhile pursuing an ambitious agenda to spark new climate-neutral growth. Now is the time to enter a new era of innovation-driven, sustainable, and resilient growth – with a competitive industry as the cornerstone. What does Europe’s industry expect from the new Commission? How must the EU position itself for international competition? What does business need to generate growth made in Europe?
