The Competitiveness School: the annual agora for policy makers and senior economic development practitioners

The Competitiveness School programme is designed to be an enriching experience specifically tailored for senior policy-making officers and seasoned professionals in economic development.

It offers the opportunity to network with peers, learn from the faculty members and engage with new perspectives.
