The “Draghi Report,” formally titled The Future of European Competitiveness, is a strategic document drafted by Mario Draghi, former President of the European Central Bank, at the request of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Published in September 2024, this nearly 400-page report outlines a bold roadmap for revitalising Europe’s competitive position in a shifting global landscape, focusing on pivotal areas such as technological innovation, economic security, and sustainable growth.
In response to mounting global challenges, the report advocates a forward-looking approach, emphasising deeper European integration, advanced industrial policies, and robust solutions for energy and innovation needs. Our expert speakers will analyse the report’s key recommendations, examining how these proposals could shape the future for European businesses and create new avenues for collaboration and strategic alignment with China.
The European Chamber of Commerce in China invites you to a seminar that will unpack The Future of European Competitiveness. This session will feature experts who will delve into the report’s main components and discuss their relevance and impact for European businesses operating in China.
