In the landscape of EU-China relations, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's doctrine of "de-risking, not decoupling" has become a central tenet. This approach underscores the European Union's lack of coherent strategy towards China — attempts to balance between engagement and safeguarding its interests while failing to address more comprehensively the scale of threats and challenges posed by the totalitarian regime. Furthermore, while de-risking itself seeks to foster a pragmatic stance on economic and diplomatic fronts, it's imperative to recognise certain sectors necessitate...

2021 saw a strange and short-lived celebrity phenomenon. Out of nowhere, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr, Katy Perry, Serena Williams and other A-listers announced personal investments in plant-based foodtech startups alongside venture capital funds and philanthropists. They were on a mission to save the planet, and the hype was real. It was part of a huge uptick of interest in the neo-meat category; Beyond Meat launched a spectacular IPO. Oatly spent gazillions on a Superbowl TV spot — “Wow, no cow”. Supermarkets cleared shelf space for plant-based burgers, sausages and mince, and fast-fo...

As a European startup founder, it is easy to say you believe in tech for good. It is good PR. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling. It might even convince some people that you’re not in it for the money. But what do those words actually mean? As words, they mean very little. I know times are tough. I know fundraising right now isn’t easy. You might be facing down-rounds and bridge-rounds. VCs that were once on speed dial may no longer be returning your calls. But I’m here to tell you that actually investing in tech for good makes sense. NGOs have the know-how, startups have the meansThe 2023 UK C...

La tierra de mi casa en Ghana es rica. Tiene diamantes y oro. Tiene petróleo y gas natural. Puede cultivar café y mucho, muchísimo cacao en grano en la región de Ahafo. Pero hoy en día no es tan fácil ser agricultor de cacao, sobre todo con unos cultivos moribundos y una cosecha cada vez más escasa que han dificultado el cultivo y han convertido el cacao en un producto cada vez más caro. Soy 'cacaocultor'Conozco el cultivo del cacao como la palma de mi mano. Soy 'cacaocultor', tengo 69 años y procedo de una familia de 'cacaocultores' (mi padre, de 105 años, también era cacaocultor).

The EU is on the cusp of saying goodbye to the current leadership in the European Commission and European Parliament. This June, EU citizens will go to the polls to set in motion both the direct and indirect election of a new leadership structure. However, before they do that, EU member states are still agreeing on the final political goals which they have been working on for the past five years. One of the most significant of these goals was just quietly and efficiently signed off in a European Council meeting where EU ministers ticked the final political box and approved the EU’s Corporate S...

Have you tried getting a plumber in recently? So has Europe’s construction sector – without much luck. The sector needs to carry out a massive wave of renovations in the coming years to meet the EU’s climate goals. This includes changing gas boilers for heat pumps and insulating older buildings, all while keeping up with demand for new homes. Construction firms will need to recruit migrant workers because there aren’t nearly enough people with the necessary skills in domestic labour forces. But they’re being held back by immigration policies that aren’t fit for purpose. A rethink – including p...

The third time wasn’t the charm. After Safe Harbour and Privacy Shield both met their maker at the hands of the EU’s Court of Justice (CJEU), a new report predicts that the US’ latest attempt to offer adequate protection to EU citizens and residents when it comes to the transfer of their data could be the next fatality. The report assessed the new EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) based on a legal "fitness check" that considers the benchmarks established by EU law and the CJEU in judgments like Schrems I and Schrems II. Any international data transfers deal between the European Commission and...

The swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected President of North Macedonia, Gordana Davkova Siljanovska, caused an uproar in Athens, Brussels, and many other European capitals. Not because she is the first-ever female president of the country or because she just won a landslide victory. It also wasn't about something she said. Actually, it was about what she did not say. While taking her oath of office, President Davkova omitted the directional adjective "North" and said just "Macedonia" despite signing a formal oath under her country's constitutional name on the same day. Yet, given that she ...

Four years after the outbreak, the world is finally recovering from COVID-19. The global community has learned many lessons to prepare for the next pandemic, yet others seem to remain unheeded. One of the profound lessons learned is that viruses respect no borders or boundaries made by man and that pandemics are truly a global threat in this interconnected world. The public health community also agrees that there will be more pandemics. Therefore, the key element of our preparation for the next global health crisis is a cooperation network built upon a “no-one-left-behind” approach. Unfortunat...

A new acronym in the climate space is getting its sea legs after the United Nations climate talks in Dubai last year, COP28. And if you, too, want to be a “champ” for climate action and policy, then this one’s for you. It’s called CHAMP, and it stands for the Coalition for High Ambition Multilevel Partnerships, with the primary focus on all things multilevel. It’s one of the easier acronyms to remember and reiterate in the climate vernacular. And it’s all about encouraging states to work with subnational governments to plan, finance, implement, and monitor climate strategies. This was a long o...
