The European Commission has thrown its support behind a new effort to foster ideas designed to boost the EU’s economic competitiveness on Tuesday, joining business leaders and experts at the launch of a new initiative coordinated by the World Economic Forum.
The project, Leaders for European Growth and Competitiveness, aims to drive structural reforms across four key areas: clean energy and industry, emerging technologies, financial markets and international partnerships. It builds on discussions held in Davos earlier this year, but Tuesday’s event in Brussels marked a more concrete step toward shaping policy.
