How can Europe achieve a unified industrial strategy that balances competitiveness with social and regional cohesion? In this episode, FEPS welcomes Lukas Bertram, economist at the ZOE Institute for Future-Fit Economies, to delve into the findings of the recent policy study “A Unified Industrial Strategy for the EU.”

Together with FEPS Director of Studies and Policy David Rinaldi, Lukas explores what it means to be strategic in fostering industrial renewal and the pivotal role of the public sector. The podcast clarifies the interlinkages between concepts like industrial policy and strategic autonomy, while addressing risks to territorial cohesion in Europe’s competitiveness agenda. Lukas also shares insights on aligning EU and local policymaking for effective reindustrialization and offers a forward-looking perspective on creating an economy fit for the future. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that connects policy, strategy, and social values.
