European Round Table of Industrialists: Working Groups: Competitiveness

This Working Group studies issues related to the competitiveness of Europe and makes recommendations for practical actions to European governments and policy-makers. Following the publication of its 1998 report "Job Creation and Competitiveness through Innovation", the group has used benchmarking indicators to monitor the progress of European competitiveness, especially in the light of the targets which the European Council set at its Lisbon Summit (March 2000) to make the EU "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world" by 2010.
