MCC Szekszárd Center

In this panel discussion, Samuel Furfari presents how energy prices, strategic infrastructure, and resources shape Europe’s economic growth and competitiveness. Geopolitical factors have a significant impact on industrial production, energy security, and innovation capacity. Fossil fuels continue to play a central role in transition strategies, while the EU seeks to balance sustainability goals with economic prosperity. The conversation explores how Europe can address geopolitical challenges and opportunities to remain both competitive and strategically autonomous.
