How can Europe catch up with the United States and China in terms of cutting-edge technological innovation? What role can bold initiatives like JEDI play in shaping Europe's technological future?

In this episode of Opening Voices, I talk with André Loesekrug-Pietri, Chairman of JEDI (Joint European Disruptive Initiative), often referred to as the ‘European DARPA’, to discuss:

🔹 Why Europe needs a radical new approach to R&D and innovation;

🔹 How JEDI is pushing for a paradigm shift in the funding of disruptive technologies;

🔹 The challenges and opportunities of building a sovereign and competitive European technology ecosystem;

🔹 The lessons Europe can learn from the DARPA model and how to apply them.

We address:

🔹 The difference between JEDI and DARPA, and why a non-bureaucratic approach is crucial;

🔹 The importance of flexibility and risk-taking in disruptive innovation;

🔹 The role of highly skilled ‘programme managers’ in innovation management.
