In 2024, EU exports to free trade partners grew twice as fast as to other destinations.
To Canada alone, exports reached €48 billion: a 51% increase since 2017.

“Once, universities saw their computational power exploited by researchers working for the DoD. Today, universities are being infiltrated by a commercial industry that exploits students and faculty as data mines, test subjects, and a perpetual supply depot of future users, all for their own profit.”
