EPIC is an independent Brussels-based think tank dedicated to connecting research with policy. Its mission is to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness through forward-looking, evidence-based dialogue between academics, policymakers, and industry leaders. The Draghi Observatory & Implementation Index, launched by EPIC in September 2025, follows up on the implementation of the Report on the Future of European Competitiveness, tracking reforms and identifying new ideas to sustain Europe’s growth model. Its Index has been widely covered by global media, including the Financial Times, The Economist, and Politico, and has quickly become the reference point for evaluating the progress of reforms across the EU.
