<div class="ft-text-columns text-content" itemprop="description"> <div class="ezxmltext-field"><p>Modern Europe has been a powerhouse of innovation, job creation and connectivity. But with the European Union itself now in a state of crisis, clouds of uncertainty hang over the continent. The legacy of the global financial crisis lingers as the eurozone struggles to survive. The influx of refugees and economic migrants has fuelled the debate on immigration. Terrorism has led to demands for stricter border controls and a more coordinated security strategy. In the midst of these challenges, the UK’s status as an EU member state hangs in the balance. Attend the <strong>FT Future of Europe Summit</strong> to hear a range of views from thought leaders in business and government on how to address these challenges.</p></div> </div> <div

the global management consultancy. <br>In its report on the European economy published in 2015 –<strong><em>A Window of Opportunity for Europe</em></strong><em>—</em>MGI took a measured, in-depth look at the economic conditions in Europe, and found some reasons for optimism beyond the frequent short-term talk of crisis. Falling oil prices, the decline in the value of the Euro and the European Central Bank’s quantitative easing measures together create an environment propitious for bold change. By taking action on 11 growth drivers at the national level and, at the same time, stimulating investment and job creation at the European level, Europe could close its output gap, achieve sustained GDP growth of 2-3% and create 20 million jobs. Many of the solutions examined are already global best practice in at least one European country, and a survey accompanying the report suggests that the European public would be ready to make tradeoffs for higher incomes and better services. <br>While the report identified the “why” and the “what,” it did not focus on the “how.” So in March this year, MGI launched its first Essay Prize: <strong><em>An Opportunity for Europe?</em></strong> asking thinkers from all over the world to come up with innovative and workable new ideas for how to create and implement a pro-growth strategy across Europe that can win over both policy-makers and the public. <br>Download the report and enter the prize at: <u>www.EssayForEurope.com</u></p></div></span> <div class="event-sponsor-link"> <svg class="icon small black"> <use xlink:href="/web/20160501155818im_/https://live.ft.com/Events/2016/FT-FUTURE-OF-EUROPE-SUMMIT#icon--arrow-circle-full-right"></use> </svg> <span itemprop="url"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160501155818/http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/mgi" target="_blank" class="ezurl-field">/www.mckinsey.com/insights/mgi</a></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="ft-block"> <h2 class="ft-block-headline">Lead sponsor <span>(1)</span></h2> <div class="ft-block-content ft-block-sponsors"> <div class="ft-block-sponsors-content"> <span></span> <div class="event-sponsor" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization"> <figure class="ezimage-field"><img itemprop="image" class="sponsor-logo-small" src="/web/20160501155818im_/https://live.ft.com/var/ftlive/storage/images/sponsors/freshfields/717007-6-eng-GB/Freshfields_sponsorSmall.png" width="265" height="26" alt=""/></figure> <span itemprop="description"><div class="ezxmltext-field"><p><strong>Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer</strong> is a global law firm with offices in 27 cities across the US, Europe, MENA and Asia. </p><p>We work with the world’s leading corporations, financial institutions and governments.
