UNLOCKING EUROPE’S POTENTIAL

Despite a challenging landscape across Europe, there is cause for optimism. As well as looking at FDI  (foreign direct investment) numbers, 72% of business leaders said they plan to expand or establish operations in Europe within the next year—up from 67% in 2022. This indicates that Europe is still a key territory in future business plans.

The key growth areas business is focusing on. Innovation and client-facing services are key, with over half (55%) of organisations intending to increase R&D and sales and marketing spend in Europe in the next three years. FDI in manufacturing held steady with just a 1% overall dip. Tourism and culture saw a huge 130% surge in investment as pandemic restrictions eased. Europe’s leaders must play to these kinds of strengths and focus on where the demand is.

Conversely, investors voiced concerns about several issues, including regulatory burden, volatile energy prices, and political instability. Investors believe an increase in regulation could stifle business growth and innovation and Europe needs to make sure that regulation, although important, doesn’t turn into red tape.
