The European Commission's Vicepresident for a Clean, Just and Competitive Transition, Teresa Ribera, argued this Tuesday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that EU energy security is "much more anchored in initiatives that return to clean, domestically produced energy" compared to dependence on imported fossil fuels.

At a briefing organized by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, Ribera was introduced by former EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager. The Spanish Vicepresident was responding to a question about how Europe is guaranteeing energy security as a foundation for long-term competitiveness from a sustainability perspective.

Back in September, New Economy Forum began the celebration of its XXV Anniversary with a special ceremony, where they proudly presented the Forum Europa Prize to Mr. António Costa, President of the European Council. 

The European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, Ekaterina Zaharieva, highlighted on Friday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the EU will launch the “Scale Up Europe Fund”, a multi-million euro initiative aimed at investing in the most promising European companies in strategic sectors of “deep tech” or disruptive technologies. The aim is to create "world champions" in advanced technologies.

Zaharieva made this announcement at an informative meeting organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, where she explained that the new public-private fund will have €1 billion from the 'Horizon Europe' programme, while another €5 billion is expected to be raised from private investors.

The European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, Ekaterina Zaharieva, defended on Friday at the Forum Europa in Brussels the need for Europe to become "a magnet for global talent" in artificial intelligence and pointed out that "we should invest heavily in AI" to maintain the continent's competitiveness.

Zaharieva addressed this issue at an informative meeting organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, where she stated that the EU's growth in artificial intelligence covers various aspects.

She said that "it is not just about models, it is also related to industry" and highlighted that Europe has "very promising" AI start-ups that are developing "unique models".

The European Commissioner for Startups, Research and Innovation, Ekaterina Zaharieva, defended on Friday at the Forum Europa in Brussels the need to increase women's participation in the EU's innovation sector so as not to "lose half of our continent's talent" in a context of "demographic crisis".

At an informative meeting organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, Zaharieva addressed the main challenges facing the European research and innovation ecosystem, including greater participation by women in this field.

Zaharieva acknowledged that "the data is not positive" in terms of women's participation in innovation, despite the fact that "women outnumber men" when "they graduate and become doctors, exceeding 50%".
