The discussions, which took place during an exclusive executive roundtable lunch, hosted by Massimo Andolina, Europe CEO of Philip Morris International, and Claus Strunz, CEO of Euronews, with moderation by Christoph Keese, CEO of World Minds, highlighted the need for Europe to become more competitive, innovative, and united.<\/p>\n<p>Andolina warned that Europe is \u201csleepwalking into a catastrophe\u201d with regards to its economy. Citing the Draghi report as a wake-up call, he emphasised the need to loosen regulations and foster an environment where businesses can thrive. \u201cA shift in mindset is crucial,\u201d he stressed. Former European Council President, Charles Michel, also urged swift action. \u201cWe should talk less and act more in Europe,\u201d he said during the discussion. He also noted, as per the Draghi report, that Europe is regulating in a way that doesn&#8217;t work anymore. Michel also advocated for structural reforms, including increasing the European Investment Bank\u2019s (EIB) capitalisation, to boost economic growth. \u201cWe must find the resources to invest in defence and business,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Michel also spoke with Euronews about Donald Trump&#8217;s trade threats. &#8221;If there is a start of a trade war, it means everyone will be poor,&#8221; he noted. &#8221;We have to react with the tools we have in our hands&#8230;but we also have to talk.&#8221; Romania\u2019s Minister of Economy, Ivan Bogdan, called for a cultural shift to rebuild trust in European institutions. Meanwhile, Bo Sandberg, Chief Economist at Active Owners Denmark, highlighted the need to mobilise private capital. \u201cThe issue is not the availability of money but getting institutional investors to act, similar to the US,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n<p><em>Optimism amidst challenges<\/em><br \/>\nSilvana Koch-Mehrin, former Vice President of the European Council, struck a more hopeful tone. She pointed to Europe\u2019s resilience during past crises, such as its leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic. \u201cEurope has always risen to the challenge,\u201d she said, noting how Europe provided vaccines to Canada and the US.<\/p>\n<p>Fredrikson Kenneth, Senior Vice President at Huawei Europe, stressed the importance of Europe establishing a stronger position in artificial intelligence (AI). \u201cThe value creation is happening here, but we need to be proactive,\u201d he said. Kenneth called for significant investments in AI and infrastructure to compete globally, emphasising that this requires collective action, simplified investments, and common markets.<\/p>\n<p><em>General consensus<\/em><br \/>\nAcross the discussions, there was agreement that Europe must work together to remain competitive on the global stage, especially with the US economy growing under Trump\u2019s leadership, despite rising public debt. Leaders emphasised collaboration as the key to addressing economic, technological, and geopolitical challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/business\/2025\/01\/22\/behind-closed-doors-in-davos-leaders-discuss-europes-path-with-trump-back-in-power\">Euronews Business<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/behind-closed-doors-in-davos-leaders-discuss-europes-path-with-trump\/\">Behind closed doors in Davos: Leaders discuss Europe\u2019s path with Trump<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2985,696,3873,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-136770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-davos","tag-europe","tag-trump","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136770\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
