The Four Motors compass for cohesion and strategic competitivenes

Cohesion and competitiveness are two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other. Last years, regions have been confronted to the need to adapt to the twin transition while trying not to undermine the competitiveness of key sectors. Under the Work Programme of the Catalan Presidency and its leitmotiv “The Compass Motors: the contribution of the regions to the debate on the future economic and social model of Europe”, this session will showcase how cohesion policy, strategic autonomy and reindustrialisation are implemented by four leading regions, and how their transformation paths contribute to the EU’s goals on innovation, sustainability and long-term competitiveness.
