L' Europe 2020 Summit quest'anno si tiene pochi giorni dopo il lancio delle consultazioni della Commissione Europea sul futuro di questo vitale programma per la crescita e l'occupazione, che sarà oggetto di revisione nella primavera del 2015.
I partecipanti discuteranno di come quest'importante agenda politica dell'Unione Europea può essere rinnovata e migliorata per adattarsi all'attualità del mondo post-crisi.
Il Summit sarà anche l'occasione per lanciare ufficialmente da Brussels i programmi "European Digital Forum" (EDF), nuovo think tank guidato da Lisbon Council e Nesta, e "Startup Europe Partnership" (SEP), piattaforma guidata da Mind The Bridge insieme a The Factory e Nesta.
José Manuel Barroso e Neelie Kroes, rispettivamente Presidente e Vicepresidente della Commissione Europea/Commissario per l'agenda digitale, terranno in questa occasione un keynote. Per la Startup Europe Partnership interverrà Alberto Onetti, Chairman di Mind the Bridge e responsabile operativo di SEP.
