Abstract: This policy paper assesses the means to enhance European competitiveness in alignment with core European values of fairness, sustainability, and strategic autonomy. It critically examines Ursula von der Leyen's Political Guidelines for the 2024–2029 European Commission and Mario Draghi's report, "The Future of European Competitiveness," focusing on re-industrialisation, education, AI, and regional growth. The paper underscores the imperative of radical transformation to maintain Europe's socio-economic model in light of geopolitical shifts, advocating for sustainable industrial policies, transformational education systems, generative AI integration, and regional growth strategies. It proposes policy recommendations that include re-industrialisation with a focus on decarbonisation and sustainable jobs, fostering a resilient education system with lifelong learning, leveraging AI for innovation, and closing the innovation gap through strengthened regional ecosystems. The paper concludes that Europe must adapt to ensure competitiveness and influence in the future, guided by an ethos of change to preserve its values and prosperity.
