From Potential to Power: Why Europe Needs Conviction, Cohesion and Capital

This year in Davos the conversation about Europe shifted from nostalgia to realism.

In this new Perspective, CEO Daniel Sachs reflects on why Europe must move from rhetoric to execution - building conviction, cohesion and a pipeline of primary capital so it can act under pressure and convert strengths into scale. He argues that trade, technology, energy and critical minerals have become instruments of power, and that Europe’s real weakness is not ideas or talent but the failure to mobilise institutions, incentives and patient capital.
