Europe has no choice but to pursue two objectives with the same ambition: to decide on a proactive industrial policy and to promote the research and innovation economy:

• An industrial policy that promotes growth and employment:
  Industrial policy must become a shared competence between the Union and the Member States in order to identify and coordinate efforts in innovative and promising sectors.
• Intelligent competition:
  In the service of growth, competition must encourage and not hinder the creation of large European groups capable of imposing themselves in the global economy, particularly in the green and digital economy sectors.
• A European Small Business Act:
  Investment is the engine of growth. Establishing specific rules for small businesses to promote their preferential access to credit and public procurement to facilitate investment is a simple and effective way to achieve this.
• An ambitious policy to support innovation:
  Financed in particular by “project bonds”, large-scale programmes must be created around enhanced cooperation between the major European research centres and the industrial champions who have world-class historical know-how.
