LeaderShip 2020 presented

The new strategy provides a series of recommendations to support sustainable growth and high-value jobs, and addresses the societal challenges that the shipbuilding and maritime industry currently faces, according to the European Commission.
LeaderSHIP 2020 builds on the LeaderSHIP 2015 strategy, published in 2003. Compared with the previous initiative, LeaderSHIP 2020 involves a broadened range of actors, including all maritime technology industries and representatives of their clients such as the wind energy industry, the shipowners and the dredging industry. EU regions were also greatly involved in the process and particular attention was given to the potential of “smart specialisation”.
LeaderSHIP 2020 is the result of a close co-operation between the industry, the trade unions, maritime regions, Member States and the European Commission.
