Europe wants sovereign satellites, secure communications, stronger defence constellations and less dependence on foreign space giants. The RFI report shows the brutal catch: by 2030, the continent may not have enough rockets to launch what it says it needs.

Europe has a rare chance to close part of its productivity gap with America through artificial intelligence. The CEPA commentary warns that Brussels and national governments may blow it by reopening the very copyright rules that allow AI models to learn.

Europe is facing a new cyber threat that its rulebooks are not built to handle. The Carnegie Europe paper warns that autonomous AI agents are moving into cyberspace as tools that can scan, reason, adapt and act with far less human supervision than traditional software.

CEPS’s in-depth analysis gives Brussels a sharp warning on digital power. The EU wants Asian tech partners to help it survive the US-China technology squeeze.

One of Europe’s greatest achievements is increasingly being treated as a security problem. Across the Schengen area, governments are reintroducing temporary border controls in response to migration pressures, security concerns and political demands. The Stratfor analysis warns that these measures may look temporary, but their economic consequences could become much harder to reverse.

Europe says it wants a reliable, integrated power market. This policy brief shows how far reality lags behind the promise. Capacity mechanisms meant to keep the lights on are multiplying across member states, poorly aligned and barely coordinated. The result is higher costs, distorted markets and growing risk just as electricity demand and system stress rise.

Europe says it is getting serious about China. This report suggests otherwise. Across trade, technology and security, the EU is still caught between recognition and reluctance. The risks are clearer than ever, but action remains cautious, uneven and heavily constrained by dependence and division.
