Two days of panels on European finance at FII PRIORITY Europe kept returning to the same uncomfortable observation: the continent’s problem is not a shortage of capital.

The global energy transition is no longer defined by a simple trilemma of security, affordability, and decarbonization. As multiple speakers at the FII Priority Europe sessions argued, it has evolved into something more complex: a quadrilemma shaped by geopolitics, infrastructure speed, industrial strategy, and strategic positioning in global value chains.

The conversation around big opportunities often starts with size, speed or valuation.
