Some 71% of respondents to the World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook report an increase in cyber risks driven by geopolitical tensions, supply chain complexity, rapid AI deployment and other factors.
Which emerging trends will redefine the future of cybersecurity in 2026 and how can global leaders harness these insights to align priorities and drive coordinated action?
Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission visited Serbia on 15 October 2025, as part of her tour to the states of the Western Balkan. In Serbia, she held a press conference with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.
In her speech during the conference, she emphasized the European Union’s commitment to supporting Serbia’s path towards EU membership. In that regard, she highlighted the necessity for Serbia to make concrete progress in areas such as the rule of law, electoral reforms, media freedom, and alignment with EU foreign policy, including sanctions against Russia. Underscoring the tangible benefits of EU integration, such as access to the Single Market and energy collaborations, she praised Serbia’s efforts towards alignment with EU values and policies, while encouraging further progress. She invited Serbia for further discussions in Brussels, signaling both the challenges and opportunities of EU accession and reaffirming the EU’s commitment to partnership and solidarity with the country.

Quantum-inspired technology will be key for future innovations in Europe. Whether in communications, cybersecurity, defence technology, or medical research, quantum computing will position Europe at the forefront of technological advances.
In simple terms, quantum computing will help us better understand our universe, allowing researchers to create new materials for batteries or vaccines, making defence and space programs more precise and secure, and empowering AI technologies to be next-level efficient.
Europe will keep the momentum. What started with researchers like Einstein and Schrödinger and is now in the news with former #MSCA (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) supervisor Michel H. Devoret being awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025 (jointly with John Clarke and John M. Martinis) will keep pushing scientists to Choose Europe.

From AI-driven grid optimization to advanced energy storage, innovation is reshaping the energy transition landscape – but uneven adoption risks creating a two-speed transition.
What strategies can better align innovation with real energy transition needs?
As AI systems grow in scale and complexity, the infrastructure supporting them must evolve to balance performance with energy efficiency and sustainability.
How can we build AI infrastructure that scales innovation and shrinks environmental impact, paving the way to a resilient, net-positive energy future?

Prime Minister’s Question Time, also referred to as PMQs, takes place every Wednesday the House of Commons sits. It gives MPs the chance to put questions to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, or a nominated minister.
In most cases, the session starts with a routine ‘open question’ from an MP about the Prime Minister’s engagements. MPs can then ask supplementary questions on any subject, often one of current political significance.
The Leader of the Opposition, Kemi Badenoch MP, asks six questions and the leader of the second largest opposition party asks two. If another minister takes the place of the Prime Minister, opposition parties will usually nominate a shadow minister to ask the questions.
