🇪🇺 Europe: A Global Leader in Innovation?
7 of the world’s 12 most innovative countries are European, and 5 are members of the EU, according to WIPO’s 2026 Global Innovation Index. 📊
🌍 Switzerland leads the world, followed by Sweden and the United States. The Netherlands, Finland and Denmark also make the global top 10, while Germany ranks 11th. But major competitors are strongly represented too, with the United States 3rd, South Korea 4th, Singapore 5th, China 10th and Japan 12th.
💡 Europe therefore remains home to many of the world’s leading innovation economies, but the ranking also highlights the scale of the competition. Most EU member states remain outside the very top, while the US and several Asian economies continue to occupy leading positions.
🤔 So is Europe still a global leader in innovation, or is it at risk of falling behind its competitors?

Moldova's EU accession is a security investment for Europe. That was my message at the Helsinki Security Forum.
A European Moldova secures 1,222 km of Ukraine's south-western flank and the EU's eastern border. Thank you, @alexstubb and @DSORennie, for a good conversation.

With this disbursement, we are helping safeguard Ukraine’s financial stability today.
We’re also building the foundations for its recovery tomorrow.
Because Europe stands by Ukraine’s side.
And will do so for as long as it takes.

IMO 🤔 Am I missing the bigger picture here? Because it looks like the proposed Canada-EU "Associate Membership" might be a massive investment play. Europe pays to build high-tech factories and refineries on Canadian soil, and in return, Canada promises a guaranteed, safe supply of the clean energy and critical minerals Europe desperately needs.
To be clear: It doesn't mean Canada is joining the EU, adopting the euro, or surrendering its sovereignty to Brussels.
Why wouldn't this plan work with the U.S.?
Because Washington wants Canadian resources to feed American factories. They don’t want to build up Canadian refining self-sufficiency.
So, Canada is breaking out of America's shadow. Isn't this exactly what we have ultimately wanted? 🇨🇦🇪🇺

We are following with great concern the rapidly deteriorating situation in Northern Ethiopia.
The EU calls for immediate de-escalation, protection of civilians and unimpeded humanitarian access.
EU funding worth €61 million will provide lifesaving and protection assistance to the people most in need.

Good meeting with @mindaugassink ahead of the 🇱🇹 Presidency of the Council in January.
We have busy months ahead of us.
From strengthening our defence, particularly on our Eastern flank.
To supporting Ukraine in bringing this war to a just end.
And bringing Ukraine, Moldova and the Western Balkans closer to our Union.
Together, we can build an even stronger Europe, ready for the challenges of our times.
And, as we discussed, this means securing a budget that matches our ambitions.

Macron's greatest weakness was a Europe that did not value sovereignty.
Most European countries clinged to dependency for years, until Putin invaded Ukraine, and Trump threatened to invade Greenland.
Now the tide is finally shifting.
Je vous parle toujours d’Europe.
Neuf ans après, notre ambition pour une souveraineté européenne capable de nous rendre plus forts et maîtres de nos choix a gagné le continent.
Le 26 septembre 2017 à la Sorbonne, j’appelais à construire une Europe plus souveraine, plus unie, plus démocratique.
Depuis, nous avons fait avancer l’Europe.
Nous avons investi ensemble face aux crises, pour protéger, investir et agir. Face au Covid, face à l’agression militaire russe en Ukraine avec un soutien inédit et la Coalition des volontaires, et face à la concurrence de la Chine ou des États-Unis.
Nous avons renforcé notre défense européenne. Notre indépendance énergétique. Relancé notre industrie et les emplois. Accéléré sur le spatial. Protégé nos technologies et nos intérêts. Et nous portons une ambition européenne pour l’intelligence artificielle et les technologies de demain.
Oui, en neuf ans, la souveraineté européenne que certains pensaient impossible ou illusoire est devenue une réalité concrète et une ambition partagée.
Elle est devenue notre plus grande force. Elle est aujourd’hui plus que jamais nécessaire. Notre seul salut.
Il nous faut en effet aller toujours plus loin et plus vite. Être à la hauteur des bouleversements technologiques, économiques et géopolitiques. Faire de l’Europe une puissance qui choisit pour elle-même, innove, protège et maîtrise son destin.
Le chemin parcouru est immense. Celui qui reste à accomplir l’est tout autant.
Nous pouvons être fiers et nous ne lâcherons rien.

Conflict. Extreme weather.
Rising living costs.
Millions of people are affected across the globe.
Europe is stepping up to support them.
Glad to announce more than $800 million for displaced people and their hosts across Africa.
And aid for for war-stricken communities.

This is why Europe is building WERO.
American Visa and Mastercard are expensive, Wero is 0.3% per transaction under €33.33, and a flat €0.10 for transactions of €33.33 or more.
Sovereignty doesn't only deliver independence, it is also lowers cost!
I’m so fucking sick of giving away 3% of all our revenue just for processing a payment. Like how is that not disrupted yet? Most ecom brands run on around 15% net. So we are giving up over 16% of our potential pre transaction fee profits to these bastards. Someone please disrupt this. It’s as if credit card processing companies are 16% equity holders in all our businesses.

This is Europe's next planet hunter:
PLATO.
It will be the most advanced satellite ever built to find terrestrial planets around Sun-like stars, made by OHB.
Time to find aliens. 👽
ESA can now detect plant photosynthesis via satellites: plants emit a very slight red glow during the process, which satellites can pick up from orbit.
Europe is a leader in Earth observation, helping humanity better protect our planet!

From 27 Sep, new EU rules will strengthen protection against greenwashing and improve information on product durability and reparability.
Better choices for consumers, clearer rules for businesses.
It's easier when you can trust the label. 🌱
