Renovate Europe Day 2012 - Stimulating jobs and growth in Europe
11 October 2012 - Brussels
Renovating the existing EU building stock is a real economic opportunity for Europe. It is a revenue-generating activity which contributes to urban renewal, strengthens social cohesion, boosts economic growth by creating local non exportable jobs (up to 19 jobs created for every €1 million invested), and leads to high public revenues (up to €5 additional budget revenue for every €1 of public funds invested).
Renovate Europe Day 2012 explored these wide-ranging benefits that investing in the energy efficient renovation of the building stock can offer, drawing from practical experiences at the local, regional and national level, and emphasing the links with the EU Cohesion Policy and Growth Agenda.
