Is Brussels strangling European competitiveness with red tape, or quietly building the foundations of a new industrial strategy? At a time of global subsidy races, Chinese competition, and mounting geopolitical pressure, the European Commission is under scrutiny for how it shapes the Single Market, regulates industry, and supports innovation. In this conversation, Kerstin Jorna, Director-General of DG GROW, discusses how the EU plans to boost competitiveness after the Draghi report, close the scale-up gap for innovators, balance strategic autonomy with open markets, and ensure that green and digital regulation strengthens, rather than weakens, Europe’s economic future.
