The economic analysis was followed by several panel discussions where the companies attending the event had the opportunity to explain the biggest challenges they encounter on a daily basis, such as innovation, research and entering new markets.

This target multiplies the initial goal set in 2018 by seven – originally €100 billion by 2025 – and reflects the rising demand from companies across all sectors and geographies.
