🌐 𝗨.𝗦. 𝘃𝘀 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲: 𝗔𝗻 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 Last week, the International EMBA Masterclass in Zug brought together alumni, students, and prospective candidates for insights from Dr. Stefan Legge — BBC World News and Financial Times commentator, and advisor to high-level decision-makers—who analysed the economic disparities between the United States and Europe. Key takeaways: ➡️ America's economic momentum: The USA has achieved remarkable post-pandemic growth supported by fiscal stimulus and established leadership in AI innovation. ➡️ European economic headwinds: Europe faces persistent growth challenges due to complex regulatory environments and aging demographics straining social systems. ➡️ Comparative trade advantages: Switzerland excels in specialised industries like watchmaking, while the USA maintains dominance in high-value digital services. This masterclass embodied the IEMBA experience - thought provoking discussions, valuable connections, and insights that could shape future leaders.
