RevivEU | Should we fear for the economic future of Europe?
The COVID-19 pandemic has not only posed a significant healthcare burden for EU member states but also marked a fundamental shift in thinking about the globalized economy worldwide. Supply chains have been disrupted, leading to a rapid adoption of new technologies such as electric cars, renewable energy sources, and artificial intelligence.
The European Union, which previously held technological superiority in many sectors alongside advanced industry, is beginning to lose ground technologically to competitors in the USA and China. The worst-case scenario? The risk of job losses and associated social problems, potentially resulting in instability in the entire European political system. To reverse this negative trend, a new pan-European industrial policy and partially the post-COVID recovery fund are being introduced.
What should the European industrial policy aim to achieve? What impact should it have on the Czech economy? And how would the failure of this policy affect Czech society?
On Wednesday May 29, 2024, at 5:30 PM at the Skautský institut, Staroměstské náměstí 4/1, Prague.
