event highlights


redalpine at ETH Zurich


At ETH Zurich, Harald joined a panel discussion on how European startups can compete on a global scale.


While Silicon Valley is known for speed, Europe’s strength lies in deep technical expertise, world-class research, and a values-driven approach—key advantages in high-barrier sectors like climate tech and biotech. However, to truly compete, European founders must embrace a bolder, faster approach to scaling, supported by equally ambitious capital flows.


With regions worldwide focusing on self-sufficiency, now is the time for Europe to lead with both profit and purpose.

Why it matters: Fusion energy has the potential to revolutionize the global energy landscape and beyond. MIT's analysis suggests it could boost global GDP by $68 to $175 trillion, providing a keystone for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like steel, cement, and aviation. Fusion’s clean, firm power could also drive innovations in AI, powering energy-intensive data centers that underpin the next generation of technological breakthroughs. As the first fusion power plant nears operational status, this transformative energy source is poised to reshape economies, industries, and our planet's future.
