Reindustrialization as a mean of improvement of competitiveness of the European Union
Streszczenie
Industry in the European Union is undergoing significant changes connected with technological
development, offshore outsourcing to developing countries and the process of servicization.
What is more, the global economic crisis disrupted the development of the European
industry, and the industrial production dynamics in 2009 decreased in all member states.
The consequences of the crisis have placed European industry in a difficult economic position
to carry out the necessary efforts to increase competitiveness through technological change
and innovation. Facing growing challenges and negative tendencies, the European Commission
approved, in 2012, the reindustrialization strategy which emphasizes key importance of industry
for possibilities of economic growth and jobs creation. The study presents goals accepted
and tools allowing adaptation to structural changes as well as achieving competitive advantage.
