Europe, Governments, Entrepreneurs: Where Should We Start?
summary
Europe faces concrete vulnerabilities: reliance on Chinese medical imports and Russian energy, weak defense capacity, and fragile semiconductor supply chains. Finland commits to 4% of GDP by 2030 for R&D with two thirds of funding from the private sector, pushes renewables and grid investment now, and urges diversification of chip production because chip fabs take ~10 years to reach top‑tier capacity. Europe must fund AI, quantum and manufacturing (Nokia and national quantum work cited) and align member states on targeted investments.
