🏺Bringing EU protection for craft and industrial products closer to artisans and producers in Milan. In the context of the ongoing Geographical Indications Capitals Tour, we were delighted to participate in Artigiano in Fiera – Anteprima d'Estate, one of the world's largest events dedicated to craftsmanship and artisanal products. With more than 1,000 exhibitors from 50 countries and an expected 250,000 visitors, the fair provided an ideal opportunity to showcase the new EU system for Craft and Industrial Geographical Indications (CIGIs). At our dedicated stand, visitors could learn more about geographical indications for craft and industrial products, discover the objectives of the CIGI campaign and explore examples of products whose quality, reputation and identity are closely linked to their place of origin. The event also provided a valuable opportunity to engage directly with producers from across Italy. Through these exchanges, we are raising awareness of the CIGI framework and encouraging artisans and producer groups to explore how geographical indication protection can help preserve local know-how, strengthen recognition and create new market opportunities. From textiles and jewellery to ceramics, furniture and design, Artigiano in Fiera celebrates the diversity and creativity of artisanal traditions. It is exactly this rich heritage that the EU's new CIGI system aims to protect and promote. The Geographical Indications Capitals Tour continues across Europe, bringing the benefits of GI protection closer to producers, stakeholders and citizens.

Last week, I visited Slovenia, where I discussed the Single Market, Europe’s competitiveness, and our proposal for the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) with government representatives, businesses, academics, and students. Why is the ECF different from previous EU funding programmes ? Here are the four most relevant differences : 1. Firepower: 450 billion euro in ONE programme. Rather than fragmented into a dozen programmes with different eligibility and reporting criteria. 2. Swiss knife logic : · The ECF will prioritise areas of strategic importance and support a seamless investment journey — from research and innovation to market deployment and global production. · We will mobilise the full EU financial toolbox — grants, equity, loans, and procurement. 3. Bootcamp included : we want to support great business ideas from everywhere in Europe ! Some regions have advanced ecosystems, others don’t . Yet . Our advisory and networking finance brings bootcamps to regions where they do not yet exist. 4. Tobogan: previously you needed to climb with prowess like Janja Garnbret (Slovenian sport climber), in order to access EU funds. With the ECF we are building a tobogan for companies : one stop shop, all digital, single reporting, speedy approvals. 5. Of course, 450 billion alone will not do the trick. The ECF is conceived as a catalyst bringing in private money and public money to power a project pipeline that creates competitive companies and quality jobs in Europe . Thank you to Gospodarska zbornica Slovenije – Tibor Simonka and Vesna Nahtigal, and Jerneja Jug Jerse for organising great discussion. Also to Mojmir Mrak and Vasja Rant and the students from University of Ljubljana who spared an hour despite busy exam time to exchange on the ECF and our 18 trillion euro Single market economy. I enjoyed our discussion! We have six months left to find an agreement on the fund between the European countries and the European parliament. Let’s keep the compass! Lastly I was also privileged to meet with several entrepreneurs - Gregor Tegeltija, Matej Zaplotnik - Magneti Ljubljana, d.d. who represent one of our last magnet makers in Europe. At times when China refuses to send neither - rare earths, magnet machines, magnets - we need to up our game in Europe. This is what our RESourceEU https://lnkd.in/e9hKukDR is about. BioSistemika, DATANA DNA Data Storage. Where Sumerian civilization 5000 years BC invented the wedge writing engraved in stone-, now DataNA invents a new writing encapsulated in synthetic DNA - my visit to the Museum of World Writing Systems https://lnkd.in/eZqa9JEM in Korea last week helped me to put their vision into perspective! Finally, I would also like to thank Matevž Frangež, Stjepan Oreskovic for their insights. #SingleMarket

💡 Are Single Market notification rules always working as intended, or are hidden national barriers affecting cross-border business in the EU? We want to hear from you! 💬 We are conducting a study on potential gaps in the Single Market notification system and examining whether certain national requirements may contribute to fragmentation across the EU Single Market.
