The Dragui report on the #future of #European #competitiveness is the base for the new #EuropeanComission ´s policy: "Today, Europe stands united in its pursuit of inclusive economic growth, focusing on: sustainable competitiveness / economic security /open strategic autonomy / fair competition They all serve as pillars of prosperity.  The vision that drives Europe forward is to create conditions where businesses thrive, the environment is protected, and everyone has an equal chance at success. Sustainable competitiveness should make sure businesses are productive and environmentally friendly. Economic security ensures that our economy can handle challenges and protect jobs. With open strategic autonomy, Europe is not just open for business; but is shaping a better, fairer world. " https://lnkd.in/d8vG3iPh

Long awaited #Draghireport on the future of European competitiveness. Its analysis of Europe’s declining #competitiveness and call for urgent action is spot on. On the importance of regions: Provincie Zuid-Holland "The EU must ensure that more cities and regions can participate in the sectors that will drive future growth”. ZHIA: Zuid-Hollandse Impact Alliantie Indeed, 🇪🇺 competitiveness lies on all regions’ comparative advantages vis-à-vis rest of world. The new European Commission should focus on how to modernise the economy. This should be reflected in the mission letters to the Commissioners. Taking steps backwards on the green agenda is yesterday’s answer to today’s challenge. Read it here ➡️ europa.eu/!nbMfnp

Have not gotten through all 327 pages yet, but great to see Mario Draghi’s report on European competitiveness released today ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e-9gHSZK Accelerating European competitiveness been a big theme for us at McKinsey Global Institute for some time. This year alone, we published a paper providing a fact-based assessment of how Europe’s economy and its firms are positioned for a new geo economic era. ➡️ mck.co/AcceleratingEurope And in June, we examined investment in Europe, outlining why Europe’s investment pulse is too low. European companies invest less per capita in productive assets, with large US corporations outspending their European counterparts by €700 billion annually. ➡️ mck.co/europeinvestment With more research to come soon from my colleagues Sven Smit, Jan Mischke, Guillaume Dagorret, Marc-Antoine de La Chevasnerie, Eric Hazan, Solveigh Hieronimus, and many others. Happy to see ideas being sparked, and the debate continue!

The Future of European Competitiveness report effectively outlines the challenges and consequences of the current trajectory. However, if the EU believes that lack of focus, inefficient resource allocation, and lack of coordination are the root causes of the EU's slowing growth, there are continued reasons for concern. As Matt Brittin highlighted in his post yesterday, there are a number of areas required to fuel European innovation.

Taiwan and the EU are solidifying their economic partnership, as highlighted at the 2024 EU Investment Forum in Taipei. With a significant boost in Taiwanese investments in the EU, including major #semiconductor and green energy projects, the forum showcased opportunities arising from initiatives like the European Chips Act and the Green Deal. Could this lead to a formalized Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between #Taiwan and the #EU? Please find the article link in comments.
