Europe’s upcoming Chips Act 2.0 signals a major strategic shift in Brussels. Instead of chasing unrealistic semiconductor self-sufficiency, the European Union increasingly aims to become technologically indispensable through photonics, industrial AI, advanced equipment and critical infrastructure technologies.
Europe shares a market, a currency and interconnected infrastructures, yet profound regional inequalities continue shaping opportunity, stability and social cohesion. Economic Europe examines how housing, infrastructure, labour and demographics increasingly influence the future resilience of the European project.
Europe shares a market, a currency and increasingly interconnected infrastructures. Yet beneath that economic integration remain profound regional differences in wealth, opportunity, productivity and social stability. Economic Europe explores whether unequal economies can truly sustain one shared political and societal future.
Across Europe, citizens increasingly encounter systems that still function, but no longer feel human. As AI, automation and procedural logic reshape institutions, a deeper question emerges: does a citizen still have the right to meaningful human interpretation inside the systems governing everyday life?
Across Europe, cities are becoming smarter, faster and more efficient. But beneath the convenience of platforms and logistics, something quieter is changing: the gradual disappearance of public life, spontaneous encounter and the social spaces that make urban communities feel human.
Europe spent decades treating infrastructure as a market. But cloud, telecom, AI and financial systems are no longer just services — they increasingly form the operational foundations of society itself. What happens when democratic institutions no longer fully control the systems modern civilization depends on?
Europe is entering a new phase of technological and societal transformation. The European Architecture explores how infrastructure, finance, AI, culture and democratic legitimacy can be reconnected in a human-centred vision for Europe’s digital future and long-term social resilience.
Does something like a European truly exist? In this series, we explore how people across the continent see themselves—through work, income, identity and place—and what these portraits reveal about a Europe that is shared, yet never the same.
As artificial intelligence increasingly interprets behaviour, legitimacy and economic identity, finance is evolving from a system that merely moves money into an infrastructure that assigns meaning — reshaping trust, sovereignty and the relationship between human beings and economic power.
A new European photonics breakthrough demonstrates how electrical crosstalk in InP chips can be suppressed to the microvolt level—an invisible but crucial step toward scalable optical computing, AI infrastructure and Europe’s growing role in the emerging “Age of Light”.
