EuropaNova, the Conclave is a high-level strategic forum bringing together public decision-makers, business leaders, European officials, intellectuals and representatives of civil society to reflect\u2014through both closed-door and public sessions\u2014on the continent\u2019s major transformations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2026 edition, held in Brussels

the ambitious title&nbsp;<strong>\u201cFrom European Strengths to EU Power.\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;It gathered leading European figures, including&nbsp;<strong>Nadia Calvi\u00f1o<\/strong>, President of the European Investment Bank, and&nbsp;<strong>Andrius Kubilius<\/strong>, European Commissioner for Defence and Space, alongside senior policymakers, industrial leaders and academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

capacity and collective action?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0,

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democracy session delivered a sobering diagnosis: the relationship between citizens and democratic institutions is eroding, largely because tangible results are lacking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three core messages emerged:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>democracy must deliver<\/strong>&nbsp;concrete improvements in everyday life,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the information battle in the age of AI is decisive,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>citizen participation must be reinvented.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One flagship proposal was the creation of a&nbsp;<strong>European sovereign information infrastructure<\/strong>, capable of aggregating trusted journalism across the continent and underpinning a multilingual European public sphere. Participants also emphasised the expansion of local citizens\u2019 assemblies and greater transparency in EU decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This session opened with a clear diagnosis: Europe has entered a period of structural geopolitical rivalry in which power politics has returned to centre stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debates focused on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the gap between Europe\u2019s economic weight and its political agency,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the fragmentation of defence policies,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the urgency of technological sovereignty,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the strategic link between economic growth and security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conclavers stressed the need to move beyond unanimity in foreign policy, to strengthen flexible coalitions among Member States, and to articulate a compelling European proposition for partners in the Global South.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The day concluded with an informal dinner fostering further strategic exchanges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(1024 \/ 770)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container
