These are impressive numbers — and they show what Europe can achieve when it invests with vision.
Now let’s make sure innovation is next in line for focused, bold support.

Because investing in talent and ideas today means shaping a resilient, independent Europe tomorrow.

An infographic illustrating the '3-30-300 Rule' for urban greenery. It features stylized drawings of trees and a bench, accompanied by three key guidelines: having 3 large trees visible from your home or workplace, ensuring 30% tree canopy cover in your neighbourhood, and living within 300 meters of a publicly accessible green space

Have you heard of the 3-30-300 🌳 rule?

Everyone should be able to:

🌲 See at least 3 trees from their home
🌳 Have 30% tree canopy cover in their neighbourhood
🍃 Live within 300 meters of a high-quality green space

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West." Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

YouTube video by Fexl Quantum Computing Is Here—and Nothing Will Ever Be the Same

As the Quantum Age approaches, we’re in a moment where curiosity often meets confusion. Real progress depends not on hype, but on understanding the science.

This is an accessible look at how quantum systems are beginning to shape our world — and how their integration is closer than it seems.

The conclusion and final quote are just as relevant today as ever.

Olivetti stands as a company with a vision for the future. Long before “innovation labs” and “human-centered design” became buzzwords, it was already fusing technology, design, and social responsibility — anticipating the values of today’s most forward-thinking companies.

Adriano Olivetti – Venice, 1957

Long before tech companies spoke of purpose, well-being, and company culture, one man reinvented industry in a small Italian town.

In the 1940s, Adriano Olivetti gave his workers libraries, childcare, and paid maternity leave.

He built innovation and a humane industry, decades ahead of his time.

A square social media graphic on a deep blue background features a white lightbulb icon at the bottom. Above the lightbulb, white text in various sizes reads. "Thank you. For making Europe bolder. For being the spark. For choosing the edge over the easy. The future over the familiar. Please, keep shaking things up. Go beyond the ordinary. Help Europe shine. We're just getting started. Your energy matters. Let's build the next chapter. Together, unstoppable, inspired. Keep building, daring, dreaming, what comes next brave, united, determined." In the bottom right corner, the European Commission's logo with stars forming a circle is visible, next to two stylised, overlapping hand icons.

Europe isn’t just keeping pace. It’s moving upwards.

Our latest Innovation Scoreboard shows the EU has climbed by 12.6% in innovation performance since 2018.

But progress isn’t a given. Global competition is heating up ↓

Apple Will Seriously Consider Buying Mistral: Report | AIM Are acquisitions the way forward for the company to resolve its AI issues?

Apple may be doing more than chasing AI talent.
A potential acquisition of Mistral could signal a strategic rapprochement with the EU, right when digital regulation is at its peak.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or Transformers.

The Eurozone is not only an economic union, but also a political symbol of trust, stability, and belonging. 🇪🇺

Space is booming, with satellites multiplying.

It’s Europe’s moment to create a single market for space that works for all.

Safer space. Stronger Europe. Shared future.

A card reads: "U.S. Enters War With Iran, Bombing Key Nuclear Sites. The U.S. dropped bombs on three nuclear sites, President Trump said, bringing the U.S. military directly into Israel’s war with Iran."

The U.S. has entered Israel’s war against Iran. President Trump said the U.S. had struck Fordo, Iran’s heavily fortified nuclear facility, as well as two other sites. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

It’s ride o’clock.

It’s encouraging to see the EU openly acknowledging these challenges.
Awareness can open the way for bolder and more focused action.

Let’s continue supporting young people, investing in skills, and building a future where Europe leads with innovation and confidence in its own potential.

If Europe is serious about competing with global tech powers and truly empowering its talent, we must:
• Think bigger.
