Eric De Montgolfier
CEO, Invest Europe

Global volatility and unpredictability have become the norm. Geopolitical uncertainty has rarely been higher, while ground-breaking technologies can one moment drive optimism, and the next fuel concerns about negative economic and social consequences. Yet, amidst all the challenges, there are opportunities. A new world order is shining a light back on Europe and also on private capital.
