Think dänk!Debate between think tankers Sylvie Matelly, Karel Lannoo, and Lukas Schmid
Industrial policy is making a comeback: supporting individual companies or entire industries has once again become acceptable around the world. Whether the aim is to strengthen security of supply, safeguard jobs, or fight climate change: The idea is to steer the economy in the desired direction. Globally, subsidies for this purpose amounted to a staggering $1,700 billion last year alone.
But can industrial policy deliver on all these political promises? Karel Lannoo, CEO of the Center for European Policy Studies in Brussels, Sylvie Matelly, Director of the Jacques Delor Institute in Paris, and Avenir Suisse Senior Fellow Lukas Schmid, author of our latest study on industrial policy, discuss this topic in our new podcast episode.

Marc Lehmann interviews the former British Prime Minister
It’s not every day that you receive a visit from a politician who once led a G7 nation. Although her tenure as Prime Minister was short-lived, Liz Truss made a significant impact on the global stage, particularly during her time as the Foreign Minister of the United Kingdom. During her brief visit to Switzerland, she did not miss the opportunity to visit our think tank and engage in a detailed and fruitful conversation with our researchers, discussing the challenges and opportunities of liberalism. Marc Lehmann asked Liz Truss what she gained from the exchange at Avenir Suisse.
