Event Review: New Growth for Europe – On Investment, Crisis Management and Growth Potential
10 October 2016, 09:30 am - 08:00 pm
German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy in Berlin
Entry Invalidenstraße 48
10115 Berlin
The joint Intereconomics/Wirtschaftsdienst anniversary conference will seek to identify new sources for economic growth in Europe. What investments can be made now to foster future growth? What is the appropriate role for the state? Have the measures taken to combat the economic crisis opened new opportunities for European growth, or will they merely lead to further stagnation? How can Europe best exploit its economic potential? Following a keynote address by Tito Boeri, the conference will feature three sessions focusing on investments, post-crisis growth and growth potential. Separate sessions will be held simultaneously in English and German. The conference will conclude with a panel discussion (in English) on the future of European growth policies, which will be followed by an evening reception.
