EU Member States have agreed to strengthen the European Defence Agency (EDA) to support Defence Readiness 2030, expanding its work on capability development, innovation and collaborative procurement. Yet turning Europe’s world-class research and innovation into defence capabilities remains a challenge. Explore how Europe wants to bridge that gap.
EU ministers called for stronger semiconductor production and faster progress from research to market, while weighing how revised merger guidelines should account for innovation and resilience. They also discussed economic security and a wide range of industrial proposals.
ENISA finds that attacks on suppliers and other third parties can spread disruption across digital services. Public administration was the most targeted sector in its 2025 analysis, while ransomware remained the most damaging threat in the short term. How is Artificial Intelligence changing the risks?
An EEA-Eionet horizon scan finds digitalisation can reduce emissions and resource use through smarter manufacturing, farming, mining and recycling. Yet AI-powered marketing may accelerate consumption and shorten product lifecycles, while data centres’ rising energy and water demand adds new environmental pressures—making adaptive EU governance decisive.
The European Institutional Investors Pact will connect banks, pension funds and insurers with European venture capital and growth equity opportunities. Thirteen investors intend to participate, including through the €15bn ETCI 2.0 and €5bn Scaleup Europe Fund—but can the initiative keep Europe’s technology leaders rooted in the EU?
The European Court of Auditors says the EU’s cybersecurity cooperation framework remains only partly effective, despite €1.4 billion in budget funding. Limited information-sharing, overlapping monitoring roles and procurement delays are hampering preparedness—while the European Cybersecurity Alert System is still not operational.
The EU Commission has proposed a common rating scheme covering data centres above 500 kW, assessing their energy and water use, grid flexibility, clean power and waste-heat reuse. With electricity demand forecast to almost double by 2030, it is also preparing minimum performance standards for 2027.
An administrative arrangement will establish a joint working group to assess how South Korea could connect with IRIS², the EU’s secure satellite constellation. The partnership could give Korea access to the programme’s architecture and enable the EU space sector to draw on Korean industrial expertise.
The EU Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) has deployed the initial operating capability of the Single Reporting Platform (SRP). The Agency has developed, operates and maintains the online tool to enable manufacturers and open-source software stewards to meet their new Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) reporting obligations for actively exploited vulnerabilities and severe incidents. Designed to support effective vulnerability management across the EU, the SRP allows users to report once and communicate

The EU Commission’s proposed European Innovation Act would create common rules for R&D procurement, introduce an EU preference, and develop an EU framework for IP-backed finance. It also aims to help startups and scaleups test, fund and commercialise innovation across the Single Market.
EuroHPC JU and Sweden’s NAISS have inaugurated Arrhenius, a new mid-range supercomputer at Linköping University. Delivering more than 60 petaflops, the €68.5m system will support AI, climate, materials and life-science research while expanding secure, energy-efficient computing capacity across Europe.
The EU Commission has launched a maritime industry alliance to strengthen Europe’s manufacturing base, technological sovereignty and strategic autonomy through joint projects, investment and public-private cooperation.
The second EU-Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Dialogue focused on how Europe’s new Chips Act 2.0 and rising demand for AI chips and data centres can deepen industrial cooperation with Taiwan. Discussions explored opportunities for Taiwanese companies to expand beyond foundry services into broader AI infrastructure partnerships, while combining European strengths in chip design with Taiwan’s expertise in manufacturing, packaging and system integration.
The European Cybersecurity Competence Centre has opened a €96 million funding call to strengthen Europe’s cyber capabilities and preparedness. Seven funding strands cover AI-powered cybersecurity, SME resilience, critical-sector preparedness, regional cable hubs, regulatory compliance and dual-use technologies, with applications open until January 2027.
EU Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra will meet governments, lawmakers and industry leaders in Copenhagen and Helsinki to discuss how EU climate policy can support competitiveness and industrial modernisation. The visit will also focus on the Commission’s latest ETS proposal, maritime decarbonisation, clean technologies and links between climate resilience and security.
Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen will use the G20 Innovation Ministerial in the United States to promote Europe’s AI investment drive and push for greater international interoperability. Discussions will also cover emerging technologies, supply chains, skills, science and cross-border regulatory fragmentation.
The EU’s next long-term budget must put competitiveness, industrial transformation, defence, security and strategic resilience at its core, European Council President António Costa says. Following talks with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, Costa called for a “completely different architecture” for the 2028–2034 MFF, while preserving effective funding for cohesion and agriculture. He also backed new EU own resources, continued merit-based enlargement and greater European strategic autonomy built on unity among
The EU Commission has approved the creation of a joint venture by AI Infrastructure Development, S.L. (‘ACS AIID’), Telefónica S.A.
