Can the European Union maintain competitiveness without the rise of a European defence? According to Anthony Penel and Caroline Gauthier, the portfolio managers of the Edmond de Rothschild Sicav Mission Europa fund, it is time for Europe to rediscover sovereignty. They point out that the Draghi report on the EU's competitiveness had already highlighted the link between economic competitiveness and defense on a European scale. Defense, energy, innovation, and financing are the pillars of our autonomy. And if European defence budgets increase, it is reindustrialisation, innovation and financial strategy that will secure our competitiveness. Investing in these key sectors today contributes to shaping tomorrow's freedom and economic stability.
