Financing Europe's future means leveraging private equity
While the EU is making strides in attracting investment, it still lags behind global leaders like the U.S. and China in terms of venture capital and private equity funding.
To boost competitiveness, the EU could streamline regulations, foster innovation ecosystems, and incentivize private investment across many sectors, including health, energy, tech and defence.
