As Europe seeks independence from American tech giants, institutions like De Nederlandsche Bank are making deliberate trade-offs—accepting less mature technology today in exchange for greater control tomorrow.
Europe holds vast pools of long-term capital, yet much of it fails to finance the systems that define its future. This essay explores why safety, as currently defined, may be Europe’s greatest long-term risk.
Europe is not short of capital — but often lacks control over it. As global capital shapes ownership and scale, the question emerges: can Europe achieve strategic autonomy without influencing the flows that build its future?
Europe has deep financial markets, but lacks a coherent investment logic. This essay explores whether Europe operates with a true financial model — or a fragmented system of markets that struggles to align with its own strategic ambitions.
Europe may not lead in building AI, but it is shaping how it is governed. This article explores whether regulation—through the AI Act and the Brussels Effect—can translate into global influence in an increasingly competitive technological landscape.
As artificial intelligence depends on vast amounts of data, Europe faces a fundamental dilemma. This article explores how the AI Act and GDPR interact—balancing innovation, privacy and control while redefining how data can be used, governed and trusted.
Cities in Europe are evolving from passive infrastructure into strategic interfaces. This first Perspective explores how design, data and governance converge under the New European Bauhaus to reshape how space creates value, influences behaviour and distributes power.
Europe is quietly redesigning itself. Through the New European Bauhaus, cities become more than places to live—they become instruments of policy, value creation and identity. This series explores how design, technology and governance converge in Europe’s emerging urban economy.
Beyond chips and headlines, Brainport’s real strength may lie in the systems that quietly sustain society. From healthcare to energy, its ecosystem reveals a different model of innovation — one built on integration, resilience and real-world impact.
Europe is building a new generation of deep tech — but risks losing control at the moment of scale. As global capital steps in, the question shifts from innovation to ownership: who will finance, and ultimately shape, Europe’s technological future?
