Geopolitical shocks can - and must - be an opportunity for Europe. The seismic shift underway makes it both possible & necessary to build a new European independence. From security to the economy. From defence to democracy. Europe is gathering speed ↓ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1eaKbjNYv…

Europe’s future must be sustainable and competitive. Biosolutions hold the key to both. Yesterday in Copenhagen, we brought together Europe’s Ministers for Business and Industry, EU Executive Vice-President @steph_sejourne, and some of the leading biosolutions companies to experience a taste of what the industry can make possible. Biosolutions represent a true European strength on the global stage. Too often though, promising ideas are held back by slow approvals and outdated regulations. Europe cannot afford that. We need to create better conditions for these companies to grow and thrive here. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this important discussion and helped make it a memorable evening. And especially Alchemist and Spora Biotech for showcasing the potential of biosolutions in such a creative way.

Danmark står foran et job- og vækstboom, hvis vi tør satse på biosolutions. Det viser en ny analyse fra Amsterdam Data Collective, der - på foranledning af @novonesis - som de første har beregnet sektorens økonomiske potentiale i Danmark og globalt. 👇 danskindustri.dk/di-business…

Was great to speak with the Vice-Chair of the French business network MEDEF, Fabrice Le Saché, on giving European companies working on #biosolutions a chance to innovate. Full piece here: euractiv.com/section/eet/new…
In #Brussels 🇪🇺 at the Biosolutions forum to support the Bio-economy, a strategic sector for Europe (17 million jobs and 5% of EU GDP). I recalled the need for an innovation friendly EU legislation ! Thanks @DanskIndustri 🇩🇰 ! @medef @FranceChimie

Not to act is unacceptable! Merci @f_lesache and @medef 💪🌱
MÉDIA I “What is unacceptable is not to have a principle of experimentation for the sciences to enable them to try. Just to say, ‘no we will do nothing’ is something we don’t want happening to biosolutions,” Le Saché said. 🗞️@Euractiv⁩ ⁦@medef⁩ euractiv.com/section/eet/new…

🇫🇷🇩🇰🇪🇺 Hier au Forum sur la bio-économie. Une initiative du patronat danois @DanskIndustri à laquelle le @medef a adhéré. Biocarburants, biotech, biomatériaux,.. il faut laisser ces innovations se développer et se déployer en Europe ! Nous y veillerons @FranceChimie

“World peace cannot be safeguarded without the making of creative efforts proportionate to the dangers which threaten it.” Just as true today as in 1950. A united Europe. Still the very best we can do 🇪🇺❤️

Stor dag i dag @mikaelvalsted og jeg har arbejdet for det længe. Nu er vi her sammen med +100 biosolutions virksomheder i alle størrelser klar til at rykke. Vi har bjerge at bestige og mange opgaver foran os. Men så dejligt at kunne gøre det sammen som branche 💪🌱
Det er en særlig dag i dag 😊 Vi etablerer DI Biosolutions med @sofiecn i spidsen, Danmarks første branchefællesskab for biosolutions! Danmark har alle forudsætninger for at blive en global hub for biosolutions. I dag tager vi det første skridt til en opdateret EU-lovgivning og en dansk vækstplan for sektoren. danskindustri.dk/om-di/konta…

So very true and well written by fellow @ecfr @JeremyCliffe Europe’s choice: unite or decline. Very difficult, so necessary.
The new Trump presidency will pit Europe’s forces of fragmentation and cohesion against each other. My column in the @NewStatesman on how the continent should prepare for the coming four years: newstatesman.com/internation…

EU er os selv. Og vi sakker bagud, trods alle forudsætninger for succes. Ex har vi stjerne dygtige forskere og virksomheder på biosolutions. Men vi skal have innovation, godkendelser og skalering i EU gevaldig op i gear. Ellers bliver det andre der scorer gevinsten #eudk #dkpol
Vi er blevet lullet i søvn og tager vores velstand for givet. Det er en af vor tids største udfordringer. EU’s konkurrencekraft er under pres særligt fra USA og Kina. Vores vækst er lavere, vores energipriser højere, vores godkendelsestider længere, vores bureaukrati større, og sådan kunne vi blive ved. I @politiken slår Lars Fruergaard og jeg et slag for drastisk og markant europæisk handling nu! politiken.dk/danmark/art1021…
