European Business Summit kicked off today
The 12th edition of the European Business Summit started today in Egmont Palace, Brussels around the theme “What’s next for Europe?”. The 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome provides the perfect opportunity to reflect on the future of the European Union. How can we make companies more competitive? How to stop and reverse the decline of manufacturing in Europe? How to catch up with countries leading the digital revolution? Nationalism and protectionism are real threats casting long shadows on the European project, so what can be the new, pro-European narrative making this project attractive and exciting again for Europe’s citizens? These and other topics will be thoroughly discussed along the two-day event – where BusinessEurope President Emma Marcegaglia and Director General Markus J. Beyrer are among the keynote speakers.
