From Rome, with Urgency: What FII PRIORITY Europe Agreed On
June 17 to 19, the coffee tables at the Rome Cavalieri were rarely empty. Between sessions, the conversations that had started on stage continued in the corridors, over lunch, and well past the official end of the afternoon program. The packed schedule was itself a strong argument: there is more to say than time allows, […]

Europe’s New Geoeconomics: Industrial Power Becomes Security Power
For decades, Europe operated on a stable assumption: security enabled prosperity. A predictable geopolitical environment, open trade routes, and deep economic integration allowed governments to focus on growth, investment, and competitiveness as separate from security concerns. At FII Priority Europe, speakers pointed to a different reality: that separation no longer holds. In today’s geoeconomic environment, […]

Act or wait: How Europe finances its future
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 Future of AI Is Built, Not Owned — and the Real Revolution Begins Beyond the Screen

As Founder and Managing Partner of Global Ventures, Sweid recalled one of the landmark listings of that period: the first company from the MENA region ever to list on the LSE, and the first […]

Europe’s Energy System Under Strain: Speed and the New Physical Economy
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. At its core lies a […]

Europe At an Inflection Point: Optimism Against Numbers
Italy, a G7 economy, now has a lower GDP per capita than Mississippi. That single line, dropped midway through a panel on FII PRIORITY Europe’s first full day, did more to frame the morning than anything said before it. Richard Attias had opened by naming the narrative everyone in the room had come to challenge: […]

Day Zero “Verdict”: Europe Has The Capital, But Lacks The Machinery
FII PRIORITY Europe opened on the terrace of the Rome Cavalieri, with Matteo Renzi reminding the room that the European project itself was born a few kilometres away, when six countries signed the Treaties of Rome almost seventy years ago. Europe, he told the room, had a choice to make: keep watching from the sidelines, […]
