How law shapes the conditions of European technological capacity
Technological capacity depends on capital, talent, energy, infrastructure, integrated markets and effective Public action. We focus on a decisive questions: how law and industrial policies shapes the conditions in which European technologies and firms can emerge, scale and endure.
The Institute examines whether EU law can help Europe build its own technological capabilities or whether it merely regulates technologies and infrastructures that Europe continues to rely on others to provide.

Strategic Asymmetry
Europe will not achieve technological sovereignty by copying the leaders. It will achieve it by identifying and building on its own distinctive strengths in talent, data, energy, open models and infrastructure.
"Regulatory power does not necessarily translate into technological power."
