The Center for Policy and Competitiveness (CPC) – Paris aims to analyze and promote the determinants of competitiveness and economic development viewed from a bottom-up (microeconomic perspective), which represents the dimension where wealth is ultimately created.
One objective is to integrate policymakers and to produce policy briefs that will inform decision-makers on competitiveness’ most poignant tenets.
The focus of our research mainstream strategies of firms, the vitality of clusters, and the quality of the business environment in which competition takes place. These factors are critical to the creation of a socio-economic agenda, which aims at the sustainability of businesses, nations, and societies at large.
The Center operates both research-driven activities and a pedagogically designed course platform which will be made available to students of Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and MBA and DBA participants.
A dedicated course, Microeconomics for Competitiveness is currently being designed specifically for government officials and private sector leaders. The course is not only an educational vehicle but also a tool to influence and support economic development in real-world decision-making.
The ultimate vision of the Center for Policy and Competitiveness, Paris is to make a meaningful impact on the economic competitiveness and prosperity of Europe and beyond.
