Good discussion with @BusinessEurope We share the same sense of urgency. And the same conviction that the profound changes reshaping the world are an opportunity to build a stronger, more independent Europe. We discussed Europe’s competitiveness strategy and what it will take to deliver it. Success requires everyone on board, and especially European industry and businesses. I outlined the main pillars: Simpler rules - for everyone. More resilient supply chains, built through a network of trusted partners. A deeper Single Market: – where innovative startups can grow and scale across borders – where they can tap into a fully fledged capital market – and where they can access affordable energy A continent that puts AI first And a continent that believes in science, innovation, and the talent of its people, equipped with the right skills
