🌞 Good morning from sunny Milan! 🌞

This morning at the #TWINSEEDS WP6-7 Meeting at POLIMI, we’re diving into WP6 scenarios on EU regions, strategic autonomy and COVID-19's impact on #GlobalValueChains.

Exciting talks ahead on recovery funding, strategic tariffs and geopolitical shifts in #EUTrade!
