“Resilience is what a system has in place for unplanned shocks [...] while continuing to serve the people who depend on it,” says Alpesh Shah, Managing Director at our partner @IEEESA. In his opening remarks at the European Resilience Summit, he explored how standardization can help identify when dependencies become vulnerabilities — and support systems in adapting when they are tested. #POLITICOEuropeanResilience

Bots took six days to coordinate a major cyberattack. More than 600 days after a report was presented, Brussels was still debating its findings. Alessandro Gropelli, Director General of our sponsor @connecteuropex, used the contrast to highlight the gap between the pace of technology and policymaking. At POLITICO’s European Resilience Summit, he argued that Europe must move faster to build its own digital services and strengthen its digital autonomy. #POLITICOEuropeanResilience

“The one metric that matters is: do we get equipment in the field faster than before?” asks Jens Giersberg, Partner at our sponsor @McKinsey. Speaking at POLITICO’s European Resilience Summit, he said Europe needs to bring defense equipment turnaround times down from five to nine years, with the U.S. closer to one year. He hopes the work can be done within the next two to four years. #POLITICOEuropeanResilience

“AI is too important to not regulate it well,” says Annette Kroeber-Riel, our sponsor @googleeurope's Vice President of Government Affairs and Public Policy for Europe. In a POLITICO interview, she argued that Europe needs to simplify its regulatory framework, saying compliance complexity can delay product launches and limit consumers’ access to the latest AI tools. #POLITICOEuropeanResilience

“Your sensitive information can remain under your control.” Maxime Bureau, our sponsor @HP's Vice President of Government Affairs for Europe, Middle East and Africa, makes the case for AI at the edge: faster performance, lower costs and energy use, and stronger data privacy and security. #POLITICOEuropeanResilience

At the Sommet POLITICO sur la Compétitivité Économique in Paris, she argued that France needs to keep developing nuclear and renewable energy to ensure electricity remains affordable.
