Universiteit van Amsterdam
In this first seminar Daniel Gros will discuss the need for Europe to strengthen its focus on high-tech industries. Most of the relatively low growth in the EU economy is due to the near absence of high-tech sectors in Europe. Over the last two decades Europe’s industry has stuck to mid-tech sectors, investing in incremental innovation, even more than in the US, while missing out completely on the emerging high-tech sectors. Correcting this deficit will take a long time and requires creating more opportunities for structural adjustment in Europe.
