Territorial truths: What the data say about Europe's cohesion and competitiveness

This session explores how cohesion and competitiveness are evolving across regions in Europe and beyond, and how data can support more balanced and resilient development. Eurostat will present key indicators on regional competitiveness and convergence. The JRC will share recent analytical work on demographic and economic territorial dynamics. The OECD will offer a global perspective and discuss territorial situations with regard to inequality and productivity, drawing lessons from both inside and outside the EU. Together, the speakers will reflect on how evidence- and place-based strategies can strengthen cohesion and ensure no place is left behind.
