The show, anchored by CNN’s award winning business correspondent Richard Quest, with reporting from CNN business correspondent Juliet Mann, will fix the spotlight on one of the world’s most influential and interconnected continents, at a time of unprecedented upheaval for the European Union and its immediate neighbours.
A special section of the programme, Facetime, will see CEOs and key players fromEurope’s most innovative and successful companies offering their views on the opportunities and issues for European business, answering the big questions of the day.
The very first Facetime on Thursday 13 October will see Richard Quest sitting down with the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, who outlines his vision for the European Union of the future.
Meanwhile, Juliet Mann quizzes the Secretary-General of the OECD, Angel Gurria, asking him what governments can do to ensure that Europe survives the current challenging economic climate.
Quest commented: “Europeremains at the heart of global business, and is rightly admired for its diversity and ingenuity; but it is facing some enormous challenges. We want to get under the skin of these and find out what they mean forEurope’s businesses – from blue chip companies to SMEs. What makes business tick across the continent, and what does the future hold for this vital piece in the global economic jigsaw?”
The show will feature on-the-ground reporting from CNN business correspondent Juliet Mann. Mann, who joins CNN to work exclusively on CNN Marketplace Europe, will travel across the continent to report on the business stories emerging around the region.

The show joins our successful Marketplace franchise: CNN Marketplace Middle East and CNN Marketplace Africa”
