Two weeks ago, we gathered in The Hague for our third EMPN conference, with over 120 participants joining to address some of Europe’s most urgent challenges. Hosted by the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands, the event explored Europe’s investment needs, the threats facing its industries – and the quality jobs tied to them – and how better European coordination of industrial and energy transition could foster a more resilient economy. This newsletter captures the key discussions.

Last week we held our second European Macro Policy Network (EMPN) conference. After the first meeting in Rome, hosted by Sapienza University in March, Philipp Heimberger and the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) welcomed us to Austria. Keynote speeches were given by Jakob von Weizsäcker, Minister of Finance of the Saarland, and Jeromin Zettelmeyer, Director of Bruegel. This newsletter summarises the proceedings.
