Is European Innovation Reigniting? took place at the National Theatre of Opera and Ballet on DAY 2, May 17, 2025 of the Special Edition of #FIIPRIORITY in #Tirana

European innovation stands at a crossroads as €1.4 billion flows into deep tech startups, yet talent continues migrating toward more supportive ecosystems. This compelling dialogue between entrepreneurs, educators, and tech leaders examined whether Europe can reverse decades of entrepreneurial decline while navigating regulatory complexity that often stifles creative ambition.

The conversation revealed stark contrasts in perspective—from advocates emphasizing Europe's quality-of-life advantages in talent retention to dialogues highlighting that excessive regulation and limited capital access drive companies elsewhere. The discussion explored how EU's healthcare and education infrastructure could become competitive advantages while addressing the reality that no €100 billion European companies emerged over the past 50 years.

Can Europe transform its innovation investment into sustainable competitive leadership?
