The world is shifting fast – politically, economically, and technologically – while climate change threatens our future. As China and the U.S. push ahead in the development of clean energy and digital technologies, Europe and Norway face an existential challenge, as highlighted in the Draghi report.
Will we adapt or fall behind? How can we secure sustainable growth, strengthen renewable technologies, and protect jobs while staying globally competitive? What role should public investment and state action play in shaping our economic future?
Join us as we tackle these pressing questions and explore how Europe and Norway can lead in the green transition – without losing the race.
