"We may not yet be at the stage where we have flying cars. But I am not yet accepting the pessimist’s narrative".

Commissioner Moedas stated that we are on the cusp of a new wave of innovation that will have a positive impact on productivity growth. He presented key initiatives to counter the slow-down in productivity growth at the EU level.

In which ways do uncertain times present new opportunities to adopt new business strategies, new policies, new creative approaches?
