Sustainability, today’s economic challenges, the outlook for the future: these are some of the topics that will be examined in depth during the annual appointment of the now consolidated event in Cernobbio, The European House-Ambrosetti Forum.
From 6 to 8 September more than 200 participants, including internationally renowned economists, experts, representatives of institutions and industries, academics and scientists, will come together at Villa d’Este to discuss the main topics at the centre of current political and economic debate.
“Scenarios for competitive strategies today and tomorrow” is the title of the event, which will include the presentation of 10 studies and analyses curated by The European House-Ambrosetti. These will include the study “Just E-volution 2030”, which was compiled in collaboration with Enel and Enel Foundation in the role of scientific partner.
The research analyses the scenarios and the opportunities for the energy transition in Europe until 2030, with the focus on Italy, Spain and Romania, and will present the recommendations to decision-makers for optimising the benefits, highlighting the enormous potential in terms of sustainability and lasting economic development. The results of the study will be presented on 6 September during a press conference at Villa d’Este, which will include a speech by our CEO and General Manager Francesco Starace, and the Managing Partner & CEO of The European House-Ambrosetti, Valerio De Molli.
