In the first year of the second von der Leyen Commission, Europe has made major moves to strengthen its independence, competitiveness, and security. From solid economic growth to a significant boost in AI capacity, including 19 newly announced AI Factories, the EU is pushing forward with a cleaner, more innovative industrial transformation.
Europe’s commitment to Ukraine remains unwavering. Alongside five sanctions packages targeting the Russian economy, the EU’s SAFE mechanism will mobilise €150 billion for joint defence procurement across EU member states and Ukraine.
