Scientific Director at Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE & Professor of Finance at Goethe University Frankfurt
The year 2024 is already picking up in pace but I wish you all a year of growth, collaboration, and impactful research! 🚀 Let me share some thoughts with you on what lies ahead. 🇪🇺 Several important elections are just around the corner. For me, the European elections in June are of particular interest. They mark a pivotal moment and will certainly shape the future landscape of financial policy and regulation in the European Union. So, at the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE, we will be discussing the potential impacts the results may have. 📈Positive signals by the Parliament to continue work on the Capital Markets Union after the elections are signs in the right direction. Its implementation is an essential step for Europe to prevent falling behind other global players and boost innovation and investments in Europe. 🌍On a global scale, sustainability remains a key topic. This summer, SAFE will host and co-organize the Sustainability Standards Conference, where practitioners and academics will discuss current standard-setting activities. Stay tuned for more details and join us: https://lnkd.in/ekH6Uv5A 🌱 What do you think will be the key issues for financial markets this year? Let me know 👇 #CapitalMarketsUnion #EU #regulation

A few weeks ago, the Digital Economy Unit of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC, EU Science, Research and Innovation) organised an in-person workshop on how to modernise public governance through the use of digital technology and data, with colleagues working across 14 European Commission's services. What are our key take away messages? ▶ The importance of working together. There is need for a coordinated approach among different Commission services to Digital Public Governance to address societal challenges and improve public services. ▶ More ownership and responsibility in driving digital policies and ensuring their effective implementation will be crucial. ▶ Mutual learning between the Commission and national public administrations, recognising shared challenges and exploring ways to support and learn from each other. What's next? Our team is working on the follow-up, stay tuned after the summer break! #publicGovernance #DigitalTransformation #Science4Policy https://lnkd.in/eAPCuxup Eva Martinez Rodriguez Paula Rodriguez Müller Luca Tangi Simon Vrečar Francesca Siciliano

President of the Board of the European Innovation Council. Please do not send me proposals, service offers or job applications. Invitations to speak please at least three months in advance.
Today and tomorrow the #EIC board will advise on the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) work programme for 2025 and on the Future of the EIC after 2027. The Draghi report is a source of inspiration, but also requires a lot of deep dives in implementation. On my way to Wageningen University & Research
Deeptech venture investor| | Start-up board professional | Serial Entrepreneur | Data sciences researcher
Draghi calls for grabbing €1 trillion tech scale-up opportunity! Both in my capacity as Board Member of the largest deeptech fund in Europe in European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) and as citizen in the European Union - I want to ensure everyone reading the long awaited Draghi report on European competitiveness. My take is: 1. We face an urgent need for Europe to close the innovation gap with the US and China, particularly in advanced technologies. 2. Deeptech investments and scaling of innovation to solve for our most pressing societal problems is an immediate answer to resilience and ensurance of our economic security https://lnkd.in/dDc4nPST In anticipation of the above report I contributed to another report released during Spring with specific recommendtions to the plea in the Draghi report - on how to realize the €1 trillion European scale-up opportunity in the tech sector (https://lnkd.in/dcWbFXXj) #innovation #deeptech #economicsecurity #scaleup #venturecapital Iliana Ivanova Michiel Scheffer Lars Frølund Hermann Hauser Keith Sequeira Catherine Lewis La Torre William Stevens
