Great feature in @dagensindustri on the need for a more radical agenda to strengthen European competitiveness. di.se/debatt/en-radi…

👥 Europe needs an agile workforce for a sustainable, knowledge-based economy. By ensuring the EU has the skills and labour mobility necessary for a high-growth, innovative economy, we could massively boost business investment across the EU. europeunlocked.eu

🍃 The green transition brings opportunities for economic growth and for Europe to be a global leader. By focusing on market-driven innovation and technology adoption the investment required to reach net zero can be unlocked. europeunlocked.eu/wp-content/upl…

🌍85% of global growth is happening outside the EU. We must not miss out on these trade opportunities. Improving market access would revitalise EU trade and enhance the EU’s economic resilience. Open trade means better opportunities for European firms to tap into global growth.

We welcome today’s European Council Declaration on a Competitiveness Deal. To unlock Europe’s full potential and meet the green, digital and security challenges of this century, we need a new model that makes our markets more responsive and dynamic. europeunlocked.eu/competitivenes…

💡 To boost innovation and drive investment in Europe we need to move beyond better regulation on paper and deliver it in practice. If we improve the rigor of the EU’s law-making process and reduce the cumulative burden of regulation we can achieve this. europeunlocked.eu/wp-content/upl…

🌐 There is more potential to be unlocked in Europe’s digital economy. By simplifying the existing digital rulebook, ensuring consistent implementation and enforcement, as well as delivering a true Single Market in telecommunications, we could unlock 2% GDP growth.🌐

To build a more competitive Europe we must create a properly functioning Single Market. Through stronger leadership, deepening integration in key areas, easier business creation, and more investment in RD&I, we can unlock economic benefits worth €2.8 trillion/year!  🚀
