The mighty forces driving global transformation started in the early nineties of the last century are changing the world face more and more quickly and deep. The world becomes increasingly complex, a source of more challenges and less safe. In the context of the current global scenario, characterized by intense interconnectedness and rapid changes, Europe faces a series of challenges and opportunities arising from key global trends: aging population, social changes, digital transformation, climate changes and health crisis and pandemic.

In this context, this review paper aims to explore in detail the complex impacts of these emerging global trends on competitiveness in Europe reshaping our future and at the same time try to find solutions to handle of these ones.
