"Europe in the world: leading or lagging?”
The 9th European Business Summit (EBS) – edition 2011 - will focus on Europe’s place in the global economy, today and tomorrow. In which areas is the EU lagging behind and what are the (business) opportunities where it can regain the lead? How can Europe move from lagging to leading and ride the new waves of growth?
The position of Europe in today’s world economy is under pressure. The crisis has halted growth in many countries, led to a decrease in industrial production and rising unemployment levels. Faced with an ageing population, lagging productivity, public deficits and a Euro in the danger zone, Europe must react to avoid economic decline.
