About this event

Caught between geopolitical turmoil, mounting pressure to deliver growth and war raging at its doorstep, the EU stands at a crossroads: Will it reform, grow and reclaim global influence or stagnate and put its economic power and security on the line? 

Drawing from the Draghi report’s call for a paradigm shift, European leaders are pushing to redefine the bloc’s economic model by cutting obligations for industry and pushing to reduce external dependencies. Balancing bold wins against sacrifices, Europe is debating the optimal path forward — and POLITICO’s Competitive Europe Summit provides a key forum for these high-stakes discussions. 

Will deregulation turbocharge the EU’s ailing industry sector? Can the bloc overcome internal fragmentation to grow and defend itself amid rising geopolitical threats? How can European policymakers secure sustained growth without compromising the EU’s green ambitions or hard-fought digital protections? POLITICO’s Competitive Europe Summit will examine these challenges and opportunities across key policy sectors.
