All committees

Across Europe, the gap between classroom learning and real-world skills continues to grow. In Romania, Honeywell is helping bridge that divide through long-term partnerships with universities and schools that prepare students for careers in industrial automation, aerospace and transport. Over the past decade, the company has established and equipped automation labs, supported innovation competitions such as FutureShapers Camp and Techallenge, and offered internships that provide practical, hands-on experience. By helping young people apply classroom theory to real-world challenges, Honeywell is nurturing next-generation talent and strengthening the link between education and employment.

Tackling competitiveness with our Executive Council

All committees

Urgency around simplification, predictability for businesses and the growing disconnect between political narrative and business reality were centre stage during AmCham EU’s Executive Council (ExCo) Fall plenary on Monday, 3 and Tuesday, 4 November in Brussels. With a view from the boardroom of some of the largest companies invested in Europe, the senior leaders emphasised how complex and overlapping rules are making it harder to plan, invest and grow in the region. They stressed that the current focus on adding new requirements is not matched by efforts to reduce or align existing ones. The result is a business environment that feels increasingly unpredictable, despite policy goals aimed at growth and competitiveness.
