Eva on WNL op Zondag: Strengthening Europe’s Role in Tech & Innovation

Our partner Eva joined WNL Op Zondag to discuss Europe’s position in the global tech landscape and why we should shift from criticism to action. Instead of focusing on what Europe lacks, she calls for a stronger vision and bold steps to stay competitive in the new world order.

💡 Key topics from the discussion:
1️⃣ Education & Digital Skills – Coding should be a core subject in schools to foster future tech leaders.
2️⃣ Overregulation – Europe needs policies that fuel innovation, not stifle it.
3️⃣ Climate Tech Leadership – The first impact unicorns will come from Europe.
4️⃣ Scaling from Europe – To build global tech giants, founders must think big and expand beyond borders.
5️⃣ Perspective Shift – Silicon Valley had a 50-year head start, but Europe’s next wave of founders is rising now.
6️⃣ Success Stories – Companies like ASML, Adyen, UiPath, and Spotify prove that European tech is thriving.
7️⃣ Talent & Capital Are Here – What we need is more ambition and execution.

Instead of dwelling on challenges, it’s time for Europe to build, innovate, and lead.
