EU Focus Group recently co-organised a high-level workshop with Luiss Business School in Rome, bringing together close to 100 senior participants from the public and private sectors at Villa Blanc.

The initiative contributed to the development of an ambitious study examining technology, innovation and European competitiveness, combining perspectives from business, academia and policymaking.

The workshop forms part of EU Focus Group’s broader strategy of connecting complementary centres of expertise across Europe.

Through partnerships with organisations including Bird & Bird on legal and regulatory affairs, Ramboll on scientific and technical expertise and leading academic institutions, EU Focus Group is strengthening an ecosystem at the intersection of business, regulation, innovation and public policy.

Further initiatives are already underway in Spain and the Netherlands.

EU Focus Group thanks Maria Monica Annibaldis, Luiss Business School Vice-Dean Alessandra Perri and Emiliano Finocchi for their contribution to the initiative.
