Austrian Standards, the Zukunft.Frauen Alumnae Club and the European Forum Alpbach invite you to a joint discussion.
While other world regions rely on fossil dependencies, power politics and deregulation, Europe pursues a values-based approach — grounded in climate neutrality, clear regulation and democratically anchored AI governance.
How can Europe assert itself in the global systemic competition? And how can it strategically plan, finance and implement critical infrastructure at continental scale?The discussion will focus on two key areas: energy sovereignty and digital infrastructure — as the foundation of security, productivity and geopolitical influence.
