A strong Europe is competitive: what can we learn from small nations?

In a globalised world facing increasingly complex problems, small states could play a key role. Author James Breiding looks at how countries such as Denmark, Singapore and Switzerland are models of innovation and competitiveness. 'The future will be written by small nations because they are more flexible, more experimental and better at building social consensus', says Breiding.

How do we shape a strong Europe?

Europe is at a crossroads. Geopolitical tensions are rising, authoritarian forces are gaining influence around the world, and populist movements within the EU are shaking its cohesion. 'The next five to ten years will determine whether Europe can defend its values and secure its future', warned philosopher and journalist Michel Friedman in a high-profile panel discussion with political geographer Luiza Bialasiewicz and Liechtenstein's Prime Minister Daniel Risch. The illusion of carefree stability must be discarded and the foundations for a strong, united Europe must be laid.

From ego systems to ecosystems: Europe's Collaborative Future with Artificial Intelligence

Fear of missing out (FOMO) is a phenomenon that affects many companies and governments in Europe when it comes to artificial intelligence. This uncertainty and a rapidly evolving AI market mean that investments in technologies are often made in a hurry and without a clear strategy. At the same time, the European Union is leading the way in terms of regulation with the AI Act, while the US model of 'try and error' seems to offer more opportunities for development and attract talent. How can Europe strengthen its competitiveness in the dynamic AI market without compromising its own values? The answer lies in cooperation between European AI players and the transformation of ego systems into true ecosystems, according to experts Jana Strattner, Tim Roder and Andreas Jagusch in a session at the Lucerne Dialogue Annual Meeting.
