From the Draghi Report to the EU Compass and Regenerative Foresight Design™
Webinar via Google Meet
As Europe faces increasing geopolitical uncertainty, industrial transformation, climate pressures, and accelerating technological disruption, the question of competitiveness has become central to the continent’s future.
Following the landmark report by Mario Draghi on the future of European competitiveness — and its implementation through the European Commission’s Competitiveness Compass and Clean Industrial Deal — this webinar will explore how Europe can move beyond short-term productivity measures toward resilient, regenerative, and innovation-driven development.
The discussion will examine:
- Key insights and recommendations from the Draghi Report.
- How the European Commission is translating these recommendations into policy and commercial strategies.
- Current implementation progress and emerging results
- How Regenerative Foresight Design (RFD) contributes to Europe’s competitiveness agenda by integrating advanced technologies, human-centered innovation, and regenerative economic models.
This conversation is especially timely as Mario Draghi is being honored with the Charlemagne Prize in Aachen for his contributions to Europe and for advancing the debate on the continent’s resilience and economic growth.
The session is intended for:
- Innovation and sustainability leaders
- Corporate strategists and consultants
- Entrepreneurs and investors
- Researchers and academics
- Policymakers and EU stakeholders
