How can Europe reignite its innovation engine and avoid falling behind in the global tech race? What lessons can Europe learn from the US DARPA model?

In this pilot episode of Opening Voices, I speak with André Loesekrug-Pietri, Chairman of JEDI (Joint European Disruptive Initiative), often called the 'European ARPA,' to explore:

🔹 The origins and mission of JEDI in driving disruptive innovation in Europe;

🔹 How JEDI's approach to funding advanced research differs from traditional European methods;

🔹 The key elements of the DARPA model that Europe can emulate, including a tolerance for failure and a focus on strategic impact;

🔹 Why Europe needs a sense of urgency and a willingness to take risks to compete with the US and China.
