There's legislation on the way (existing?) in the US that bars Europeans from working in certain industries due to national security concerns, says Maaike Okano-Heijmans. So Europe should consider how they will respond.

Maaike Okano-Heijmans, senior research fellow at Clingendael Institute, says #Quantum is one technologies that Europe should focus on when pooling resources; biotech is another, as well as #generativeAI.

Marc Lemaître, director-general, DG Research, European Commission: "Europe now has 4 of the ten top supercomputers" because of it pooling resources. #Draghi makes this point on pooling resources in his report "and he is right about that – and everything!"

Suspect the term #economicSecurity is in vogue because many are still instinctively allergic to "industrial policy". Hangover of neo-liberal times?

Žaneta Vegnere points out that doing #EconomicSecurity is "transversal", meaning that in the old world, trade commissioners did not have to speak to foreign policy commissioners or those looking after security.

Žaneta Vegnere, deputy head of cabinet for Valdis Dombrovskis says the EU is not a nation state, and that's a real problem for achieving #economicSecurity, and puts Europe at a disadvantage vis-a-vis nation states like the US, China.

In three days, the EU member states will take its decision on automotive tariffs. Big moment.

I did not realise this.
If accepted, #Mercusor would be the largest trade agreement ever. But it is more than that; it's a geopolitical alignment between Europe and South America.

Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault Group and president of ACEA, says that those who create the targets (i.e., the EU and national governments) have not created the markets and infrastructure, such as electric charging stations.

People who say that the #Draghi report is only about deregulation have not read it.
Much of it concerns creating larger markets, which will require laws. (1/2)

Is having that (European platforms) not much more important for European productivity?
#politicocompetitiveweek #Europe #geopolitics
Listening to CEO of Vodaphone Germany. He highlights the importance of SME's But #Europe has enough SME's. What it does not have are huge companies with scale that really drive productivity. A point #Draghi makes.
#politicocompetitiveweek
Is Trump, especially if he imposes the tariffs that Lighthizer wants him to, the crisis Europe needs –– to move towards #Draghi?
#politicocompetitiveweek
Why is competitiveness the word du jour? It should not be confused with having more competition; Draghi's report rightly says that Europe is too obsessed with competition.
What we are really talking about is #geopolitical competition. #politicocompetitiveweek
🇪🇺 What’s next for the EU’s competitiveness?
