The EU Inc. proposal aims to simplify how businesses are established, financed and expanded across Europe. But can a common corporate framework overcome the legal fragmentation of the single market and strengthen European competitiveness?
Euractiv’s relaunch as Rapporteur sharpens Mediahuis’s ambitions in European policy intelligence. Specialist reporting, professional subscriptions and AI-assisted tools offer a route to growth—and raise a harder question: how can journalism become essential to paying decision-makers while keeping Europe understandable to the wider public?
Europe’s national veto protects sovereignty and ensures that sensitive decisions receive broad support. Yet it can also delay collective action and turn consent into bargaining power. This Perspective examines how the EU can protect national interests while keeping shared commitments deliverable.
As Europe prepares for enlargement, the debate over national vetoes raises deeper questions about power, sovereignty and democratic consent. A four-part series exploring how a larger Union can act effectively while retaining the trust of its members and citizens.
Europe’s sovereignty debate is becoming more concrete. Grids, critical materials, capital, computing and security institutions now sit at the centre. The harder test is whether Europe can turn this emerging machinery into operational capacity at continental scale.
Europe made payments instant, but fraud intelligence still moves between banks, platforms and authorities at institutional speed. As AI industrialises deception, Europe must decide who connects—and ultimately controls—the warning systems protecting its financial architecture.
Europe does not need a €10 trillion fund. It needs a financing chain that can move capital from development to construction, de-risking and mature infrastructure — and then recycle it fast enough to build the next project.
Europe needs to channel more than €10 trillion into its energy system by 2040. The real challenge is no longer only technological capacity, but whether Europe’s fragmented financial architecture can turn savings into grids, generation, storage and resilience.
Under Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission has moved beyond regulation towards crisis management, industrial strategy and geopolitical coordination. Her vision is of a Europe capable of acting—but its growing executive ambition raises questions about power and accountability.
Who is shaping Europe’s future? This series examines the people whose ideas, decisions and institutional power are redefining the continent’s political, financial and technological architecture—and the tensions their visions create as ambition meets the limits of execution.
