"Europe has the fundamentals: world-class talent, a large market, and growing regulatory influence. Awareness has shifted decisively: from Brussels to boardrooms, sovereignty is now understood as a strategic imperative rather than a political slogan.
Yet a gap remains between ambition and execution. Investment levels still lag behind global competitors, market fragmentation continues to slow scale, and coordination between public and private actors is not yet optimized.
This session brings together industry leaders to focus on what comes next: how to operationalize sovereignty as a driver of competitiveness. From smarter capital allocation and industrial policy alignment to cross-border collaboration and infrastructure buildout, the discussion will explore how Europe can translate intent into execution and turn sovereignty into a tangible business advantage."
