Debate "Women Powering Europe's Competitive Edge: the next phase"
On the 10th of March, on the occasion of the Women's International Day, the CCMI will hold a debate under the title: "Women Powering Europe's Competitive Edge: the next phase". Join us for a forward-looking discussion on how unlocking women’s leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation across strategic sectors—from green energy to deep tech—will shape Europe’s next wave of competitiveness. Advancing women’s economic participation is not only a matter of equity; it is a strategic imperative for productivity, resilience, and long-term global influence. By fully leveraging women’s leadership and innovation, Europe can expand its talent pool, accelerate breakthrough innovation, and strengthen economic resilience. This approach drives smarter growth, boosts global competitiveness, and builds a more sustainable and inclusive economy.
