Organisations at the intersection of macroeconomics, financial markets, and European public affairs.
Independent Policy Platform · EU Strategic Affairs
An independent, non-partisan policy platform founded by Marcos Agustín, built to restore Europe as a global power through unification, sovereignty, and strategic scale. Advancing a unified, coordinated, and strategically independent Europe.
"Europe has the talent, capital, institutions and industrial base to lead globally — but fragmentation taxes every decision. Scale is power. Europe must act as a single economic force."
The institute focuses on the economic, industrial, technological, financial, energy, and geopolitical foundations required for Europe to remain a leading global power in the 21st century. Through research and convenings, it brings together policymakers, executives, investors, academics, and strategic leaders to contribute independent analysis and a clear commitment to Europe's long-term strength.
Deploy €33 trillion in European household savings into productive continental-scale investment — funding companies, infrastructure, and expansion.
Eliminate regulatory fragmentation and build unified market execution to scale startups before they leave the continent.
Develop full-spectrum defence, space, and cyber capabilities with interoperable procurement and credible deterrence.
Secure abundant, low-cost, low-carbon energy across nuclear, renewables, and storage to eliminate external dependence.
Prioritise European companies in semiconductors, AI, biotech, advanced materials, and space sectors.
Continental capital pools deployed through unified infrastructure are prerequisites for competitiveness.
Strategic autonomy requires capability depth in procurement, industry, and doctrine — not declarations.
Energy sovereignty precedes industrial renewal.
