Translating Chinese lessons for scaling EU industrial innovation with Cornel Ban

Europe is good at creating new technologies and innovative ideas, but too often European companies struggle to get the funding they need to grow. While the EU has traditionally looked to the 🇺🇸 USA and Silicon Valley for inspiration, could 🇨🇳 China offer Europe some useful lessons on how to help innovative companies scale up and strengthen Europe’s industrial base?

In this episode of FEPS Talks, Anna Kolesnichenko, FEPS Policy Analyst on Economy, talks to Cornel Ban, Associate Professor of International Political Economy at Copenhagen Business School, about how Europe can better finance its growing companies and turn innovation into industrial strength. They explore why European start-ups often struggle to move from innovation to growth, what Europe can learn from China’s approach to funding new companies, and how the EU could make it easier for promising businesses to grow, scale up production and compete internationally. 📕
