Enhancing Cohesion Policy's Impact for Jobs, Skills, and Competitiveness

The EU cohesion policy is making strong investments to enhance employment, build skills, promote innovations, accelerate the green and digital transition and boost competitiveness in lagging regions. The European Commission and the World Bank are partnering to amplify the returns on these investments by enhancing their focus on results, promoting integrated data ecosystems and AI tools, and deploying trial-and-adopt impact evaluations to support adaptive delivery. Focused on smart investments in people and businesses, this partnership brings science and innovation to cohesion policy. The initiative will help scale effective solutions to address Europe’s jobs, competitiveness and inclusion challenges. Click here to learn more about the initiative and the event.
