Q&A
1.45PM-2PMThe COVID-19 crisis, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the ensuing energy crisis are just a few of the significant challenges the European Union has had to deal with. Nationalism is increasing globally, and several nations are enacting protectionist laws like the US' Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). In the face of such geopolitical tensions, could the EU turn these crises into an opportunity to fortify the Union and its industrial policy?
