At the launch of the Europe 2020 strategy, the EPP Group in the Committee of the Regions made a call for all levels of government to be engaged on an equal footing in its design and implementation.
In this endeavour of having a partnership-based strategy which delivers on the ground, and in the context of the European Week of Cities and Regions – OPEN DAYS - the EPP-CoR Group will dedicate a specific seminar to the "industrial policy for a globalisation era" flagship initiative.
Visions on a new industrial policy for Europe and concrete case studies will be presented by regions and cities, demonstrating their contribution to shaping implementing industrial policy in the globalisation era. The seminar will be complemented by an Exhibition which show-cases how regions and cities implement the seven flagship initiatives of the Europe 2020 Strategy.

· Antonio Tajani, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship
