Polish online media outlet Tygodnik Polityka has comprehensively summarised our interview series “The Next 20 Years”. We started this series to celebrate the 20th anniversary since eight CEE countries joined the European Union. Together with CEE business and political leaders, we discussed the future we are building in our region with the EU, asking them what lies ahead. While acknowledging undeniable progress, leaders cautioned that the era of "easy growth" is over. Navigating a complex geopolitical landscape demands innovation and adaptability. Despite these uncertainties, invited stakeholders maintain strong belief in the potential of the CEE region and Poland. This series is a collection of different perspectives contributing to the vision of the future of CEE. Learn more about key takeaways from the interviews—read the translation of Polityka’s article and watch the full interviews here: https://lnkd.in/dMMn6QZv #FutureofCEE #transformation #EU PwC Polska, Agnieszka Gajewska, Michał Mastalerz, Jeffery McMillan, Marta Laskowska, Kuba Kurasz, Piotr Kolomycki, PwC Czech Republic, PwC Slovenia

On 19.11.2024 in Louvain-la-Neuve, representatives of the local industry and public deciders will exchange on the status and future developments of the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) in Wallonia through presentations, discussions, round-tables and networking. With the help of this powerful EU lever, the southern part of Belgium unites efforts from its 4 main actors - regional and local authorities, research and innovation actors, the business community, and civil society - in order to define priorities and work on the implementation of long-term growth strategies.   The concept of Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) was introduced by the European Commission as part of its growth and jobs agenda, with the aim of providing European regions with a new generation of regional research and innovation strategies. It is a strategic approach to economic development, allowing each region to identify and develop its own competitive advantages.

Europe, in three words: Lack of Ambition! My latest blog on the simple reasons why Europe is falling behind. For example, Europe houses only two of the 20 biggest listed companies in the world. The link to the blog: https://lnkd.in/dxRzKFcP

Poland leads as Europe's top economy. Here is why: We spent two exciting days with the executive teams of two TDJ portfolio companies - PGO S.A. and enson. Our meetings reconfirmed our view that Poland is in a league of its own: -> Superior infrastructure, evenly spread nationwide. -> Robust local businesses with deep roots in key industries shaping the fundamentals of the economy. -> Driven, educated, ambitious management. -> A firewall against the entitled, spoiled, WOKE working culture of Western Europe that delivers an irreparable blow to productivity and competitiveness. An example to follow!

As part of Cluster Meet Regions Charleroi 2024 / AGORADA+, a panel discussion titled "Connecting Regional and Local Economic Development Strategies with Clusters" is underway. Panellists Sophie Bourez, Sebastien Durieux, Philippe Lachapelle, and Vicky Wildemeersch are delving into the dynamics of the Wallonia ecosystem. The Walloon Region's clustering policy is supported by two types of structures: business clusters and competitive clusters. ◼️ Business clusters are funded to foster economic activities and promote innovative partnerships across industrial, commercial, and technological domains. ◼️ Competitive clusters, on the other hand, focus on implementing projects in investment, R&D, and workforce training, aligned with the strategic competitive positioning they have independently defined. This dual-approach framework ensures that both types of clusters contribute effectively to the region’s economic development and innovation ecosystem.
