About the Conference
Productivity lies at the heart of long-term economic prosperity. Yet, productivity growth in advanced countries, including in Europe, has slowed in the past decade - albeit with significant disparities between groups of firms, regions or countries.
What are the drivers of the current productivity slowdown? Where does Europe stand and what are the key challenges and paradoxes it faces? Which of these can be addressed through EU-level intervention?
This Conference explored these important questions, in particular focusing on the role of better diffusion of knowledge and technology, the digitalisation of firms, investment finance and changing business models in reviving long-term growth in the European Union.
It took place on Thursday 4 July 2019, from 09h00 to 16h00, in TownHall Europe (Square de Meeûs 5-6, 1000 Brussels), gathering leading European businesses, practitioners, academics and policymakers.

The European Political Strategy Centre (EPSC) reports directly to the President and operates under his authority. It is composed of a professional staff of advisers, policy analysts and support staff with appropriate experience and track record, in order to provide professional and targeted policy advice to the President and the College.
EPSC provides strategic analysis and policy advice for the President on matters related to the policy priorities (as defined by the President in his political guidelines presented to the European parliament on July 15 2014), and outreach to decision-makers, think tanks and civil society at large.
The EPSC provides support to the President also on concrete initiatives, as well as policy advice of more long-term nature.
