@leoquattrucci.bsky.social urged a focus on how Europe gets things done: hiring, funding, and institutions that can match the speed of change.
Gilberto Morishaw warned that values aren’t slogans; they show up in how we organise work and coordinate action.

Ann Sander Nielsen calls for economic realism:
Europe should invest in what it’s good at and scale it's companies through interoperability and open markets.
Sana Afouaiz reminded that inclusion drives innovation. Diverse teams design better products for everyone.

For CFG’s Climate Interventions team, the focus is on engaging and listening.
Today’s exchanges showed that trust, accountability, and access to knowledge will decide how the world handles these tools.

The discussions surfaced familiar tensions:
* open research vs. control,
* precaution vs. preparedness,
* trust vs. verification.
Ideas drew from non-proliferation models, intl. law, and the challenge of governing tech moving faster than our institutions.

From a European perspective, readiness means more than access to models.
It's about building fallback options, scientific niches, and agile governance that can move at the speed of the tech.
Or as one participant put it: "get agile, or get left behind."

From a transatlantic view, AI is no longer narrow or niche.
Military alliances are planning for dual-use risks, adversarial applications, and the massive power demands of frontier systems, while trying to uphold democratic principles and interoperability.

Thomas Auger (opposition): Europe doesn’t need to trade values for growth.
The energy transition shows sovereignty and competitiveness can reinforce each other.
“Our model works when we build on our assets — single market, public procurement, and our values.”

@mariafarrell.bsky.social pushes back: “We can be both.”
We need to foster competition, not just competitiveness.
More players across every tech layer means more resilience.
“Sovereignty isn’t isolationism. It’s how we stay European in a digital world.”

Robin Wauters (proposition) adds: “Sovereignty isn't top of mind for tech entrepreneurs.”
Sovereignty risks becoming isolationism in disguise. Europe should focus on collaboration and supporting founders instead of trying to do everything alone.

@chloeteevan.bsky.social (proposition): sovereignty and competitiveness can’t always coexist.
Europe will need to navigate trade-offs.
“Sovereignty shouldn’t mean Europe-first protectionism, but we’ll need realism about where we take hits.”

Cynthia: tech readiness must keep social cohesion in mind. “If we don’t bring the public along, we’ve already lost.”
Solving the tech challenges of our time takes courage to face facts, collaboration across borders, and compassion for those hit hardest by change.

Jérôme Van Biervliet brings the biotech angle: Europe’s science is excellent, but it often stops there.
To turn research into impact, we need deeper capital markets, targeted EU-level regulation, and more focus on building great companies.

SerpilTascioglu argues to see supply chains through a strategic lens.
Europe needs smart partnerships and cross-border collaboration that creates demand.
ASML shows what happens when vision, public backing, and university ecosystems align.
