Funding mobility, driving competitiveness

How can mobility programmes strengthen Europe’s skills base and competitiveness?

Join us on the 1st of July during the "Funding mobility, driving competitiveness", event. Hosted by European Parliament Vice-President Victor Negrescu and Eurochambres, this event will explore how mobility can help entrepreneurs, apprentices, and SMEs innovate, grow, and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness.

Representatives from the European Commission will present upcoming EU initiatives linked to skills, mobility, labour mobility, and competitiveness, followed by a dialogue between Vice-President Negrescu, entrepreneurs, and apprentices sharing their real-life mobility experiences. The event will conclude with a broader discussion with participants on barriers to mobility, SME access, and the future of EU funding for skills and competitiveness. The full agenda is available here.
