@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu opens the #EUSocialForum, saying #skills are key drivers for Europe’s #competitiveness and #socialmodel. We must invest in skills und #jobs at the same time: “Quality jobs are good for businesses, quality jobs are good for Europe.”
As EU #research funding shifts toward #competitiveness, support for global challenges is tightening. A report from Centre for European Policy Studies argues that the next Horizon Europe should formally integrate philanthropy to help fill the gap:
A big thank you to all the contributors at the CCMI roundtable discussions in Nicosia on water resilience and EU defence #preparedness 🤝
The discussions highlighted resilient solutions to water and defence challenges at a crucial time for EU industrial #competitiveness and the green transition🌊🧬

One Europe, one market. 🇪🇺
Our @eesc-president.bsky.social met with Enrico Letta to discuss #competitiveness.
We highlight the urgent need to boost our competitiveness by:
✔️ increased investment in digital transformation;
✔️ reducing dependencies on non-EU supply chains.
