This paper emphasises the important shifts taking place in the global economy with the rise of China but also of other emerging/ed economies that affect the competitiveness of the European economy and challenges its traditional comparative advantages. The challenge to the European economy is compounded by having been left behind in some of the most innovative areas and branches of economic activity (IT, most recently AI, quantum and cloud computing) and also lagging behind in important technological shifts in more traditional industries (such as EVs in the transport equipment industry). On top of this – but also linked to global economic developments – have come rather big ruptures in geo-political relationships such as the decline of multilateral institutions and increasing conflictual relationships amongst the major acting powers on the global political stage. We discuss in this paper the challenges that EU industrial policy has to meet given the trends in geo-politics and geo-economics.
