This Europe Day 2026, we celebrate the peace, unity, freedom and shared values that connect people across the European Union.
From freedom of movement and cultural exchange to privacy, democracy, health, security, clean energy, climate ambition and solidarity with Ukraine, Europe is part of our everyday lives. Across borders, generations and languages, we stand together as one community.
On Europe Day 2026, we celebrate a Europe that protects what matters, creates opportunities for all, builds strong partnerships around the world and remains united in the face of shared challenges.
Marked every year on 9 May, Europe Day commemorates the Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950, a historic moment that laid the foundations for European cooperation and what would later become the European Union.

This technology allows anyone to make computer chips
Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)
Inside the device you are reading this on right now, a critical component you might never have heard of is beavering away. ‘Instruction set architectures’ (ISA) are the interface between the hardware and software in every computing device. They are essentially sets of rules that translate code into instructions that microchips can understand and execute. Without them, no device – whether a smartphone or a supercomputer – would be able to function.
Most ISAs are proprietary and used under licence. This costs money – and it restricts the ability of users to design custom chips based on their specific requirements.
RISC-V is an open-source ISA that is free to use, designed explicitly to be customised, and which is already found in billions of devices and computers around the world. Here’s how it works.

Just 1% of aviation fuel is sustainable. Here’s how that figure can take off
Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)
Replacing petroleum-derived jet fuels with sustainable alternatives is key to decarbonizing flying. This switch alone could get the aviation sector almost three-quarters of the way to net zero.
But today, less than 1% of aviation fuel used around the world is sustainable. So what’s the hold-up? Here, Adam Klauber, Chief Sustainability Officer at World Energy and Brian Peers, Global Head of Sustainable Transport and Fuels at HSBC provide some answers – and explain what’s needed for#sustainable aviation fuels to reach the scale required to make a real impact.

Is climate denialism on the rise? Prof Katharine Hayhoe on science, faith and algorithms
Source: World Economic Forum (video statements)
Katharine Hayhoe is a climate scientist and an evangelical Christian who lives in Texas and knows how to reach out to conservatives who might see climate change as a party political rather than a science-based issue.
Two years after she last spoke to Radio Davos, Prof Hayhoe assesses the rise of climate denialism, particularly on social media, but also the rising awareness of the issue caused by increasingly frequent extreme weather events around the world.
