On this week’s Unpacking Europe podcast, James Green, a research fellow at the Centre for European Reform spoke with Claudia-Dominique Geiser, a senior expert in EU Economic Policy at the Bertelsmann Stiftung and Marlene Schörner, a policy fellow, in EU Financial Markets at the Jacques Delors Centre to discuss how to scale up innovation in Europe to strengthen economic competitiveness and support strategic technologies.

They took a detailed look at ways to enable innovative startups to grow across Europe and how to unlock the capital needed to finance their expansion. They also discussed their recent paper ‘How to revive Europe's stock market listings’ published earlier this month.
