LONDON, ENGLAND--(Marketwired - Jan. 6, 2014) - Europe is on the mend, but just what was the problem in the first place, and who has instigated the turnaround?

Although the latter stages of 2013 were rife with talk of Europe's recovery, for many, the end goal still seems a distant prospect and the region's plight appears as desperate as ever; that is, until you look beyond the immediate challenges and consider instead the many opportunities to be had on the continent.

What is certain is that the recovery is gathering momentum, albeit in small doses, and that there exists a certain number of individuals and companies capable of leading the region on to unprecedented economic success. To celebrate the New Year, we at European CEO have named the winners of the European CEO Awards 2013 and look at the parties leading a resurgence in European business.

Elsewhere in the magazine, we look at Europe's top 20 post-WWII inventions, unpick the argument for an internal energy market and, in the wake of the Royal Mail's shambolic offering, analyse some of the problems of privatisation, to name but a few of our many features.

For an insight into this season's most pressing affairs with respect to European business, management, finance and culture, read the new Spring 2014 European CEO, available online and in print now.
