Integreon CEO, Bob Gogel Moderates Second Annual The State of the European Union Conference in Brussels

Held recently at the Palais d’Egmont in Brussels, The State of the European Union is an annual forum where CEOs, business leaders and policy makers from across the world share their experiences and vision of Europe and its prospects. The second annual event which took place May 31st included debate and discussion on a number of topics including the European economic challenge, youth policies and the region’s relationship with emerging markets.

The event also saw the launch of a new international study, supported by Grail Research, which showed that executives believe the European Union should consolidate its financial decision-making and focus on growth, while admitting a shrinking Eurozone and a two-speed Europe are realistic scenarios.

An archive of the conference discussions is available on the event blog and on Twitter at @StateoftheEU and #StateoftheEU.
