In this op-ed in Les Echos, BCG’s Olivier Scalabre and Sylvain Duranton draw on the latest edition of BCG’s European Competitiveness Barometer to deliver a clear message: Europe stands at a turning point, and for the first time, business leaders and citizens are aligned on the urgency to act. An overwhelming majority now call for a stronger, better coordinated Europe capable of defending the continent’s economic sovereignty. The authors explore concrete pathways for Europe to regain competitiveness, focusing on a few strategic priorities: accelerating investment in breakthrough technologies, strengthening energy integration and electrification, deepening financial market, and reinforcing defense capabilities.
