Per questo ho deciso di dare unโ€™occhiata ai dati sulla formazione della classe dirigente di Bruxelles: ci sono piรน avvocati o piรน ingegneri? ๐Ÿค”
Ma non solo.

Ho voluto scoprire anche quali percorsi di studio scelgono i giovani in Europa e come siamo messi con le lauree STEM ๐Ÿ“Š๐Ÿ’ก.

Si parla di Dyson Sphere per catturare lโ€™energia delle stelle, di civiltร  tecnologicamente avanzate, di data center sulla Luna e persino di LLM addestrati direttamente in orbita.

Ma ci sono anche implicazioni economiche e politiche in questa nuova corsa allo spazio.โœจ

Nelle ultime settimane, i big della tecnologia, da Musk a Altman, da Bezos a Pichai, hanno lanciato una nuova ambizione: portare i data center nello spazio. ๐ŸŒŒ

Dal 2020 sono stati investiti circa 70 milioni di euro in progetti spaziali, con un picco di 30 milioni solo nel 2023.

Von der Leyen Says EU Ready to Act on China Rare-Earth Threat European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Brussels is considering all options to react to Chinaโ€™s rare-earth threat.

1/ As Trump goes to Asia, EU leaders threaten to take action on China. Rare earth restrictions may have finally brought the EU out of its slumber. At the same time, Europe pushing for greater free trade agreements with the rest of the world. Will action match words?

This sense of realism and urgency is also driven by an underlying and fundamental reshaping of the world economy. We are in the middle of a systemic shift in how countries work with each other โ€“ and against each other. Every day, we see how the tools of traditional statecraft are being used to weaponize interdependencies and leverage alliances. To create chokeholds on countries and industries. To exert control and impose coercion on others.

Nokia & Ericsson get squeezed out of the few crumbs they still had on Chinese market.

All the while, Huawei & ZTE have retained 30 to 35 per cent of the European mobile infrastructure market. Huawei 50%+ of German 5G access network.

Absolute economic security folly.

New tools: How the EU can show China it means business Chinese policymakers are well used to ignoring European objections to decisions made in Beijing. With a new array of tools, the EU could finally cause them to think differently.

Catch up on the latest on EU-China relations ahead of tomorrow's BRICS Summit from Alicja Bachulska.
The EU needs to make clear to China that it is willing to use an array of tools, should China not agree to pare back its market dominance and economic coercion in Europe.
