The Competitiveness of Europe

Mario Draghi's report is a wake-up call: the EU is at risk of falling behind in key technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing. High energy prices, fragmentation and bureaucracy are hampering growth and innovation. The Federation of German Industries (BDI) supports Draghi's call for an industrial policy strategy that strengthens key technologies, finances innovation and deepens the single market in order to ensure Europe's competitiveness and resilience.
