Danish business calls for major investments

Following Mario Draghi’s report on EU competitiveness, key figures in Danish business are calling for substantial investments in innovation, energy, and green transition to allow the EU to compete globally. Draghi’s report shows that the EU has been losing productivity compared to the US and China, diminishing its share in the global economy. Danish industry leaders agree on the need for significant investments. Lars Sandahl Sørensen of DI emphasizes that Europe must prioritize innovation, reduce energy prices, and lessen dependency, particularly in security terms. Brian Mikkelsen from Dansk Erhverv supports a reworking of the EU budget, advocating for more environmentally efficient use of agricultural support. Investments in green industry are crucial to prevent Europe from falling behind the US and China. Kristian Jensen from Green Power Denmark argues that a shift towards clean electricity will reduce energy prices, create jobs, enhance EU autonomy, and cut CO2 emissions.
