President Marcegaglia at International Industry conference in Berlin
“A strong and competitive industry is crucial to weather the challenges our union is facing. Therefore, we need coordinated action at the EU level and must materialise the signs of movement in the EU institutions now”, BusinessEurope President Emma Marcegaglia said at the International Industry conference in Berlin on 7 February 2017. The conference was organised by the Alliance for the Future of Industry, which serves as a lighthouse for a structured dialogue on industrial competitiveness at the EU level. The new German Federal Economic Minister Brigitte Zypries and European Commission Vice-President Jyrki Katainen also addressed the audience. Photo gallery
