On Tuesday 11 January, from 9:00 to 11:30 CET, I-Com, the Institute for Competitiveness, hosted its Symposium entitled “EU’s Path to Competitiveness. How Digital, Energy and Health can lead the Way Forward”.
The event was held online and it was live-streamed on I-Com website.
As Covid-19 pandemic has put EU’s economy and growth at jeopardy, relaunching EU’s competitiveness has gained momentum. However it is to date not easy to foresee the challenges and perspectives that lie ahead of this path.
In light of this, the European Commission has thus been developing new regulatory frameworks on key fields aimed at drastically changing its industry and economy while strengthening its competitiveness, particularly on digital policy, health and energy.
In particular, strong emphasis has been put on these latter during Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union Speech in mid-September. Ultimately, the digital, health and energy sectors will be key for EU’s recovery and competitiveness both internally and international level.
In order to analyze the way forward on EU competitiveness on these three fields, in Panel I the discussion touched upon EU’s path towards the Digital Decade. In Panel II, the event explored EU’s preparedness to future health crises and the European Health Union. Finally, Panel III concerned perspectives and challenges for EU’s industry from the Green Deal to the Fit for 55 Package.
