DIW-OECD Industrial Strategy Dialogue

Amidst a global battle for technological leadership in fast-changing and emerging industries, Europe has been losing competitiveness. Productivity remains weak. While innovation is taking place in the EU, its large-scale commercialisation often occurs abroad – along with the creation of new firms and employment that accompany it. Industrial policy could help address these challenges, but too often is design to shield firms, industries and innovation activity from international competition. Our panel discussion will explore the role of competition policy as a cornerstone of successful industrial and innovation policies, and how industrial policies can be designed to foster, rather than hinder competition. What policies can strengthen competition in the EU, and how will they foster innovation, internationalisation and productivity growth? What role can a less fragmented Single Market and a more integrated capital and banking union play in supporting such strategy?
