录音中指出欧洲工业面临一个巨大的挑战，提到“…Europe’s ageing industrial firms may be slow to innovate…”和“…make the shift to developing innovations from breakthrough research”，可知欧洲工业面临的挑战是转向创新型生产。
【录音原文】
European industry faces a massive challenge if it is to meet the goal of spending 3% of GDP on research and development. Making a success of breakthrough research will mean more than spending money on laboratories and researchers. Fortunately, while many of Europe’s ageing industrial firms may be slow to innovate, they are world class when it comes to making and marketing products. That should hold them in good stead if they can make the shift to developing innovations from breakthrough research.
