Why does the EU fail to produce its own Google, Amazon or Facebook? Is Europe lacking entrepreneurship, technical savvy or simply imagination? Contrary to what many think, the EU does even better than the US at creating high-tech start-ups; however, many European firms whither on the vine due to a lack of finance. Yet a simple solution has been lying in plain sight for decades – we simply need to grasp it. The answer, as with a great many questions, is money. In each of the past five years, the EU has created more high-tech start-ups than the US. Nonetheless, many of them fail to scale up, whi...

The Hungarian government wants to use its EU Council presidency to push for the creation of an EU-wide plan on cardiovascular health, with a particular focus on prevention and tackling inequalities, according to a document seen by Euronews.

On many occasions, they seemingly relied on simple Google searches and Russia’s rich list, much of which would not have stood up in court. In...

After eight years of negotiations, the European Union has finally agreed on a new set of rules under the New Pact on Migration and Asylum. However, instead of providing real-time solutions, this freshly agreed Pact seems to exacerbate existing problems. Designed to establish a more coordinated and unified approach to handling migration and asylum across the EU, the New Pact ironically overlooks the crucial role of cities, which are at the forefront of providing essential services and integration policies for migrants. Integration happens at the local level. Despite the continuous political dan...
