The US withdrawal from global climate protection initiatives could be an opportunity for Europe. But it is mainly China that is leading the way, with exports in areas such as solar panels and affordable electric vehicles.
Europe’s banks still on the sidelines
Wero's gentle pace of innovation does not give the impression that it can really compete with PayPal and other established payments players. For a European solution, the digital euro appears to be a better initiative – if it is introduced soon.
AMLA is Frankfurt's latest startup
The new EU Anti-Money Laundering Authority has only recently commenced its operations in Frankfurt. AMLA Chair Bruna Szego likens the demanding set-up phase to that of startup.

Europeans must urgently pull together in order to make their way in a world increasingly shaped by power politics, say former Bundesbank Executive Board member Andreas Dombret and former commander of US forces in Europe Ben Hodges.

After a stellar first half, the Dax faces headwinds
In the first half of 2025, the Dax and other European stock exchange indices made unexpectedly large gains – while the dollar slumped. Analysts forecast modest gains for the Dax in the second half – but still view European valuations as offering better opportunities than expensive US stocks.

Europe's banks are complaining about the allegedly too tight timetables for implementing new capital requirements. However, they have advantages over their US competitors.

Start-ups in Europe are scaling back on personnel growth
Start-ups in Europe are significantly slowing down their workforce expansion this year. The hiring rate, especially for late-stage companies, has sharply declined compared to the previous year, as an analysis shows. For the majority, a short-term increase in staff is currently not a priority.
