SUMMARY:Investment, technological change and skills: Germany and the EU
DESCRIPTION:12:00 - 14:00 Uhr // Growing downside risks to the economic outlook, together with well-known structural weaknesses, make still more pressing the need for strong reflection on European policy priorities. How can we improve productivity and competitiveness in the EU and in Germany? Is current investment adequate given crisis legacies and the challenges lying ahead? What strategies are needed to foster innovation as a driver of long-term growth, and to master new challenges arising from digital transformation?  The event will debate challenges for Europe and Germany with regard to technological transformation, skills and financing. It will present findings from the recent EIB Investment Report ”Retooling Europe’s economy”, a comprehensive analysis of investment trends and drivers. This draws on new results from the EIB Investment Survey, a unique datasource providing insights on corporate investment activity for Germany and the EU. The presentation will also cover an in-depth study of innovation, investment in intangible assets and digitalisation as drivers of productivity growth.
