We live in a time where the old world order is rapidly changing. The rise of robotics and intelligent computer systems makes jobs obsolete, while technology gives rise to novel employment opportunities. A new generation of successful entrepreneurs from countries such as China, India, and Poland is changing the landscape of business. The principal constraint on business growth used to be a lack of physical capital, but insufficient access to intellectual capital and skilled workers is rapidly becoming the new key obstacle.
For centuries, Europe led the world in skills, innovation, entrepreneurship, and industrial growth. How can we make sure that Europe continues to prosper in the 21st century? How can a new industrial renaissance pave the way for more jobs, technologies, and exports? These are questions that ECEPR, a pan-European public policy think tank, aims to tackle.
To do so, ECEPR carries out and publishes original research in different areas of importance for its mission, and provides research- and policy-related advisory, consulting, and educational services on behalf of businesses, business organisations, and charities in these areas. For enquiries in these respects, please get in touch.
