This paper analyzes stakeholder perceptions of the role that Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) could play in responding to Europe’s current challenges. It also determines what stakeholders consider to be the future role for PPPs at EU level. The authors argue that most stakeholders agree with the over-arching objective of ‘involving the private sector’ – for investment, but also to benefit from specific expertise. PPPs are an important vehicle to address some of Europe’s investment needs – necessary to boost Europe’s growth in the medium to long term - which public investment alone will not be able to meet.
