BPF Recommendations

Europe+ Foundation takes advantage of its annual World Investment Conference, gathering over 1000 global leaders from political and economic life, to launch this year a new thematic conference, the 1st Brainpower Forum.

The event will focus on human capital as a primal leverage for value creation, innovation and competitiveness. It will develop on the needs to provide Europe with a lasting competitive edge, and a greater role in the global brainpower competition. It aims to bring together key players to analyze and promote best practices, in building stronger links between the 3 pillars of the brainpower ecosystem – Higher Education, Research and Corporate sector – and also in replacing the notions of health and well-being in our innovation strategies, in order to ensure people’s skills for creativity.
