In fact, Sweden alone had more stock listings than Germany, France, Spain combined for each year of the last decade. “If the remaining of the EU carried out like Sweden, we might not be speaking a couple of competitiveness drawback,” noticed Dr Osvald Bjelland, Origination Founder and Chairman.

“Closing the technology gap is central to Europe’s resilience,” said Risto Siilasmaa, Founder of F-Secure, former Chair and Interim CEO of Nokia, and Founder and Chair of WithSecure. “We need to map where critical capabilities are missing, quantify the investment required to fill those gaps, and deploy both public and private resources strategically. That is the core of ensuring the New Nordics and Europe can withstand systemic shocks and maintain competitiveness.”

“Energy transition projects must move from prototypes to full-scale deployment. Our job is to identify which technologies are ready, where financing bottlenecks exist, and how to structure investment to de-risk early-stage deployment at scale,” famous Christian Rynning- Tønnesen, Senior Partner and CEO of Aker-ICP Infrastructure and former CEO of Statkraft.

“Europe does not lack innovation; it lacks the capital and risk appetite to invest and scale projects at speed and over time. For long-term investors, the question is not willingness but coordination of capital and creating an EU Inc.,” asserted Sebastian Frisk, Partner and Head of EQT Growth.

“Planet and human-centric capitalism driven by sustainable interaction between nature, society, and the economy is a force for good serving generations to come. It’s a pathway to more and greater profits and returns for all stakeholders – humanity and nature,” prescribed Dr Phoebe Koundouri, Professor at University of Athens and Cambridge University and Member of the Nominating Committee for the Nobel Prize in Economics.
