Study on the Future of Manufacturing: Born Globals and their International Value Chains

The project is led by Prof. David Smallbone, Prof. Robert Blackburn and Dr. Hang Do, working in collaborataion with the partner IKEI (Spain) to elaborate the study within 10 EU countries, including Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Estonia and Italy and Romania. The outputs of this project are embedded into a larger project of Eurofound and the European Commission intended to analyse the future of manufacturing activities in Europe.
