Daniel Finkelstein, Matthieu Courtecuisse, Mathias Dopfner, Timo Haas, Martha Lane-Fox, Heiko Thoms
Over 30 pharmaceutical companies warned of a €100 billion capital flight unless the EU addresses regulatory uncertainty, prompting officials like Heiko Toms to propose "Omnibus" packages that prioritize competitiveness over the Green Deal. Panelists including Matthias Döpfner and Axel Springer CEO highlighted a critical 30% AI productivity gap driven by risk-averse culture and rigid labor markets, calling for a €500 billion infrastructure fund to unlock domestic capital and correct market fragmentation. Meanwhile, defense leaders outlined a strategy to triple German spending to 3.5% of GDP by 2029, framing dual-use technology integration as essential for both national sovereignty and civilian economic revival against global competitors.
