    The future of European competitiveness: Report by Mario Draghi

    Mario Draghi – former European Central Bank President and one of Europe’s great economic minds – was tasked by the European Commission to prepare a report of his personal vision on the future of European competitiveness. 

    The report looks at the challenges faced by the industry and companies in the Single Market. It outlines how Europe will no longer be able to rely on many of the factors that have supported growth in the past and lays out a clear diagnosis and provides concrete recommendations to put Europe onto a different trajectory.

    Background

    Today, Europe stands united in its pursuit of inclusive economic growth, focusing on 

    • sustainable competitiveness
    • economic security
    • open strategic autonomy
    • fair competition

    They all serve as pillars of prosperity. 

    The vision that drives Europe forward is to create conditions where businesses thrive, the environment is protected, and everyone has an equal chance at success.

    Sustainable competitiveness should make sure businesses are productive and environmentally friendly. Economic security ensures that our economy can handle challenges and protect jobs. With open strategic autonomy, Europe is not just open for business; but is shaping a better, fairer world.

    Next steps

    The findings of the Draghi report are contributing to the Commission’s work on a new plan for Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness. And in particular, to the development of the new Clean Industrial Deal for competitive industries and quality jobs, which will be presented in the first 100 days of the new Commission mandate.

    Many of its recommendations are reflected in the Commission’s Political Guidelines as well as the mission letters of the President of the European Commission to the members of the College.

    In January 2025, the Commission presented the Competitiveness Compass, a new roadmap to restore Europe’s dynamism and boost economic growth. The Compass builds on the analysis of the Draghi report and provides a strategic framework to drive the Commission’ work for the next five years.

    Our plan to reignite Europe’s economy

    Over the last two decades, Europe’s potential has remained strong, even as other major economies have grown at a faster pace.

    The EU has everything it takes to unlock its full potential and drive faster, more sustainable growth: we boast a talented and educated workforce, capital, savings, the single market, and a unique social model. To restore our competitiveness and unleash growth, we need to tackle the barriers and weaknesses that are holding us back.

    In January 2025, the Commission presented the competitiveness compass, a new roadmap to restore Europe’s dynamism and boost our economic growth.

    Three necessities for a more competitive EU

    The compass builds on the analysis of Mario Draghi’s report on the future of European competitiveness.

    The Draghi report originally identified three necessities for the EU to boost its competitiveness: 

    1. Closing the innovation gap 
    2. Decarbonising our economy
    3. Reducing dependencies

    The compass sets out an approach to translate these necessities into reality.

    FAME: Federated decentralized trusted dAta Marketplace for Embedded finance

    January 1, 2023 @ 8:00 am – December 31, 2025 @ 5:00 pm CET

    (PROJECT)

    FAME. “FAME.” Accessed 13.08.2025. https://www.fame-horizon.eu.

    FAME is a joint effort of world-class experts in data management, data technologies, the data economy, and digital finance, aiming to develop and launch to the global market a unique, trustworthy, energy-efficient, and secure federated data marketplace for Embedded Finance (EmFi).

    ​The FAME project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2023 Research and Innovation Programe under grant agreement nª 101092639. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or Horizon Europe. Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.

    Marketplace

    The FAME Federated Data Marketplace for Embedded Finance is a Data Space, according to the definition of the EU, customized for buying and selling federated data assets in the financial sector.

    Accessible through a unified entry point, the Marketplace allows for secure data access, sharing, trading and analysis through FAME’s analytical tools for both finance and non-finance organizations, tech and non-tech users, and other end-users.

    Why FAME?

    Modern data marketplaces are transforming how data assets are shared, traded, and utilized. Recent European initiatives have made significant strides, particularly in enhancing data monetization, regulatory compliance, and secure data exchange. However, existing centralized marketplaces face challenges that limit broader participation and accessibility. Notable limitations include complex data discovery processes, limited transparency in value-based data monetization, and insufficient integration of trusted, energy-efficient analytics. Addressing these gaps can unlock new data-driven applications in sectors like finance, retail, and smart cities, empowering innovative services that seamlessly integrate financial data. That is where FAME comes in.
