🚀 A new report on Technology Infrastructures is out!  Technology infrastructures are central to advancing industrial innovation & competitiveness. This is why, in May, we gathered hundreds of participants in Warsaw for the first European conference on Technology Infrastructures. This event was co-organised by the European Commission, the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU and the Łukasiewicz Research Network. 📘The main findings are summarised in the conference report out now “Technology Infrastructures: A Strategic Asset for European Competitiveness” 👇  🔹 Technology Infrastructures are strategic drivers of innovation, resilience, and industrial leadership – they need to be recognised and supported as such.  🔹 We must tackle fragmentation of Technology Infrastructure capacities – long-term, dedicated investment tools combining public & private funding are essential.  🔹 We need to scale access for SMEs and startups urgently, providing more opportunities across the EU.  🔹 Strong synergies with Research Infrastructures are critical to bring innovation from laboratory to the market.  🔹 A unified European single market for infrastructure services is needed with a shared governance and strategic vision. 📖 Read the full report here 🔗 https://europa.eu/!jMRqRb  📌 The report contributes to the upcoming European Strategy on Research and Technology Infrastructures — stay tuned for more!  📌 Plus, it aligns with the newly-proposed Horizon Europe 2028–2034, which includes dedicated support for Research and Technology Infrastructures – a major milestone for Europe!

Empowering local self-government is essential for Ukraine's reconstruction and European integration. By strengthening the administrative capacity of hromadas, Ukraine's democratically elected municipalities, we ensure that rebuilding efforts are inclusive, transparent and aligned with the community needs.      Through the projects such as U-LEAD with Europe, GIZ Ukraine supports municipalities in planning and managing reconstruction, fostering good governance and reform process. International partnerships facilitate knowledge transfer, helping to bring Ukraine’s local governance in line with EU standards.     Digitalisation is another important aspect of our engagement. At GIZ Ukraine we support educational initiatives like CDTO Campus to scale the network of digital leaders and bring innovation into the public administration.     In this video Bastian Veigel, Coordinator Good Multi-Level Governance Cluster, explains how GIZ Ukraine promotes good governance on different levels.

🎉Excellent news for Moldova’s rising generation of filmmakers, musicians, and artists! 🇲🇩Moldova is set to join the Creative Europe family in January 2026. 🇪🇺Today, the European Commission adopted the decision to sign and provisionally apply the agreement enabling Moldova’s participation in the EU’s flagship programme for the cultural and creative sectors. ❗️This marks a key milestone in deepening EU–Moldova cooperation in culture, media, and cross-sector collaboration. The agreement is expected to be signed in September 2025, with provisional application starting from that moment. 🎭🎤🎬This is a defining moment for Moldova — and for Europe’s cultural space. Moldovan creators will bring fresh voices, new energy, and rich traditions into the heart of European creativity. 🇪🇺🤝🇲🇩With the EU by their side, Moldova’s artists, producers, and cultural operators can develop and test innovative, sustainable projects, rooted in local heritage and ready for international stages. ✅Young Moldovans are already shaping the future of Europe through programmes like Erasmus+, DiscoverEU, and Horizon Europe. Their participation in Creative Europe will further connect a new generation of creators — mobile, ambitious, and forward-looking. #CommissionerOfThePeople

Three Years of Change: Building a Stronger SME Ecosystem in Ukraine Civitta Ukraine, together with Ecorys, GIZ Ukraine, and BRDO, has successfully completed the EU4Business: SME Policies and Institutions Support (SMEPIS) project, funded by the European Union. Over the past three years, our team reviewed more than 100 SME support programmes across the country, identifying key gaps and designing five new concepts to address them, including initiatives focused on digitalisation, export readiness, veteran entrepreneurship, and the green transition. We also helped reduce the bureaucratic burden for micro-enterprises, contributing to a 43% decrease in time spent on compliance since 2018. Beyond policy work, we supported the development of business associations and local support organisations, reaching over 400 participants through workshops and study visits to Brussels. This project marks a meaningful step toward smarter policies, stronger institutions, and a more resilient SME sector in Ukraine.

Lobbying is now official in Ukraine. Compliance is still catching up. Here’s how executives and policy heads can lead responsibly today. Read my column on Forbes Ukraine. Link in comments 👇 As of January 1, Ukraine officially recognizes lobbying as a profession — yet the supporting infrastructure is not fully in place. The Transparency Register is promised by September, and enforcement may be delayed until next year. My new Forbes column outlines how leaders can act responsibly in this transition period. What’s inside: - 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 - 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞 - 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐞𝐧𝐝 As a Head of Public Policy at Bolt and a Board Member of the Ukrainian Lobbying Association, I’m committed to advancing transparent, ethical standards in our market. I hope this piece helps executive teams set the bar high. #ForbesUkraine #PublicPolicy #Lobbying #Ethics #Compliance #Governance #ULA
