🇪🇺 Mario Draghi's recent "The future of European competitiveness" report stresses the need for Europe to refocus on #innovation, #decarbonization, and reducing dependencies to secure growth and #competitiveness. The report highlights Europe’s lag in tech productivity, energy costs, and fragmented industrial policies. To sustain prosperity, Europe must make radical reforms, invest heavily, and increase productivity. The report urges coordination across EU states for a cohesive economic strategy. In my opinion, for the EU to become more competitive and innovative, it needs strong financial instruments such as a unified European bond and a common capital market. These tools would support the financing of innovation and attract the necessary capital. What do you think? How can Europe strike a balance between its ambitious climate goals and the need to boost industrial competitiveness? 📜 You can find the full report for download in the comments.

EU: The #future of #European #competitiveness: Report by Mario Draghi The report looks at the challenges faced by the industry and companies in the Single Market. The findings of the report will contribute to the Commission’s work on a new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness. And in particular, to the development of the new Clean Industrial Deal for competitive industries and quality jobs, which will be presented in the first 100 days of the new Commission mandate.

🚨 Eagerly awaited: Mario Draghi's report on the future of European competitiveness! 🌍📊 Expectations fulfilled? Draghi characterises his report as urgent and concrete 📢. He ruthlessly reveals where and how Europe is faltering 📉, especially in the face of China 🇨🇳. Too many individual national approaches, too little coordination within European policy areas. He calls for a stringent global approach 🌐 to enable larger financing packages 💶 and the scaling of key industrial projects. He calls for a focus on strengthening innovation and maintaining Europe as an industrial location in order to guarantee our prosperity and preserve our economy. The only way to do this is to decarbonise industry 🌱 and exploit the remaining potential in cleantech 🔋 , including the automotive industry 🚗 - alongside digitalisation, these are the key areas of competition in which Europe is losing out to China and the USA. All possible means must be mobilised to achieve this, from cheaper energy, more centralised decision-making across various policy areas and massive financial resources. Many proposed measures (170!) are not new, such such as speeding up permitting, strengthening administrations or creating single entry points to access EU funds. But there are also more radical demands, such as an additional 800 billion euros a year in public and private investment, financed through a European safe asset. Or a European framework for centralised decision-making on energy policy issues for a genuine energy union, comparable to the European Monetary Union. Overall, the report brings good news 👍, because accepting deindustrialisation would be the kind of dreaded green transition that people do not want. However, in view of the proposed measures, many Member States would have to step out of their political comfort zone. And it remains to be seen which of the proposals Commission President von der Leyen will ultimately include in her new political programme🧐.

Mario Draghi’s report on "The Future of European Competitiveness" outlines a new industrial strategy with three pillars: innovation, decarbonization, and security. With €750-800 billion needed annually, it’s clear Europe must act decisively to remain competitive on the global stage. The report also calls for reducing regulatory burdens and boosting productivity through digital and green transitions. Read more in this week's #SantanderInsights:  https://lnkd.in/dVEcVJEG

All 👀 on 🇪🇺 Today marks a pivotal moment for 🇪🇺Europe's economic future with the release of Mario Draghi's highly anticipated report on EU competitiveness. In an era where Europe finds itself in a global #techrace, this report couldn't be more timely. It underscores a crucial reality: competitiveness, resilience, and climate action must go hand in hand for Europe to thrive. And Europe cannot respond with the same old tools and without a true #industrialpolicy.   Wordcount of key priorities (aside from competitiveness, security and resilience) #investment is mentioned 178 times #innovation is mentioned 113 time #energy is mentioned 118 times #cleantech is mentioned 44 times #grids is mentioned 14 times    #Congratulations to Mario Draghi and his team for delivering a comprehensive strategy that aligns closely with what many in Europe see as critical priorities for Europe's future: 📈1. Closing the innovation gap and commercializing breakthroughs 🏭2. Addressing scaling challenges and enhancing supply chain resilience 🤝3. Calling for robust industrial policy with more coordination and better governance 💶4. De-risking investments to accelerate progress ⚡️5. Delivering European infrastructure - from energy grids to digital networks The report rightly emphasizes that Europe cannot afford to wait. It identifies several main challenges that demand our immediate attention: 1. Accelerating #innovation and finding new growth engines 2. Bringing down #energyprices while decarbonising the economy 3. #Reacting to less stable geopolitics, where dependencies are becoming vulnerabilities To address these challenges, the report proposes ambitious yet necessary steps, including: 💶Bridging the €400 billion annual investment gap in green tech and digitalization 🇪🇺Strengthening the Single Market to rival the scale of the US and China 🌍Enhancing Europe's strategic autonomy in critical sectors. As we digest the full implications of this report, one thing is clear: the time for #bold, #coordinated action across the EU is now. Europe has the talent, resources, and vision to lead in the industries of tomorrow. 📣Let's seize this moment to turn these recommendations into reality.📣   #EUCompetitiveness #Innovation #Sustainability #EuropeanEconomy Breakthrough Energy Simone Tagliapietra Paolo D’Aprile Miguel Gil Tertre Cleantech for Europe Energy Resilience Leadership Group Read the report here: https://lnkd.in/eg_eV-wm Picture taken in June when I had the pleasure and chance to meet with Professor Draghi in London

🚨 Europe’s Competitiveness is at Risk 🚨 The future of Europe’s economy depends on tackling three significant challenges: 1️⃣ Innovation – Europe lags behind the U.S. and China in new technology. Only 4 of the world’s top 50 tech companies are European. We must close this gap. 2️⃣ Clean Energy – Energy prices in Europe are 2-3 times higher than in the U.S. If Europe can't make energy cleaner and cheaper, its competitiveness will suffer. 3️⃣ Security & Self-reliance – Relying on other countries for critical resources makes Europe vulnerable. It needs to build up its own capacity. The report on the Future of European Competitiveness lays out the path forward to ensure growth and stability. Now, all that's left is the implementation. Piece of cake, right? 🍰 🎥 Watch Mario Draghi introduce this critical report to the European Commission here: https://lnkd.in/gpfuQNBe Draghi's report for download here: https://lnkd.in/gmr-neHC #innovation #cleanenergy #Europe #competitiveness #technology #business #growth
