Rome Investment Forum 2015: Financing Long-Term Europe
About:
Investment is the key driver in the European Reform Agenda. Investment means a better balance between stability and growth, a new approach to public and private partnerships, a more visionary idea of social and economic sustainability, a stronger commitment to innovation and fairness.
As Europe speeds up on-going reforms and looks forward to new ones, the Rome Investment Forum 2015 intends to review the European Reform Agenda, promote a sense of urgency and concrete deliverables, build on a shared vision of a common future. From “Finance for Growth” to “Investment for Growth”
