KEF III will focus on the competitiveness agenda and on how a more dynamic, knowledge-intensive economic context can support innovation, competitiveness, and economic growth. Delegates representing 22 Europe and Central Asian governments, international organizations, the private sector, civil society, and academia will convene to discuss the knowledge economy: the new economic environment in which innovation and knowledge are replacing capital and labor as the primary wealth-creating assets.
