,

in his report “The Future of European Competitiveness”, published in September 2024, Mario Draghi outlined key challenges for Europe's competitiveness. In his recommendations, he assumes that there will be fewer but larger companies than today operating within a unified EU market. However, the report mostly ignores the progress that has already been made by numerous competitors – companies that are promoting digitization at the national and European level, fostering economic growth and the competitiveness of the European economy, while enabling innovative solutions.

Which companies are making this decisive contribution? What business models do they represent? How are they shaping the digital transformation in the EU? And what role does competition play in this? These are the topics we would like to discuss with you.

ecta and VATM kindly invite you to the event:
