Atlantik-Brücke Strategy Session on European Competitiveness

The Draghi report has given the EU a diagnosis – Europe is falling behind in three areas: prosperity, security and sustainability. With Trump back in the White House, a new EU Commission in office and a German federal election looming, the question is even more pressing: Is Europe willing and able to draw the necessary conclusions from this finding? Particularly in the areas of innovation and security, major steps must be taken for Europe to not be left behind. Together with our expert speakers, we will discuss the potentially tough and controversial decisions that need to be taken to keep the EU competitive in a new transatlantic era.
