From Friday, 4 October to Sunday, 7 October, AmCham EU attended the ALDE Congress in Estoril, Portugal. During the Congress, the delegation engaged with a range of officials and participated in two roundtables, one on how Europe can strengthen its competitiveness and the other on Ukraine’s reconstruction. Much needs to be done to increase the attractiveness of Europe, but with decisive action, the EU can reset the agenda and strengthen its competitiveness in the global economy.
