The European Invasion: Myths and Realities
With Speakers Dijana Mitrovic
and Sean Herrity

In the early 1960s the so-called “British Invasion” referred to the musical movement of primarily British groups—most notably The Beatles—arriving on America’s shores. Sixty years later, is war in Eastern Europe, sky-high energy prices and recessionary pressure sparking a “European Invasion” by small EU companies looking for stability and growth?
