The European Center for Economic Security, Technology and Resilience (ECESTR) addresses several critically important aspects of the evolving strategic landscape:
In a world of intensifying geopolitical rivalry and economic pressure, Europe must safeguard supply chains, critical infrastructure, and advanced technologies. ECESTR pinpoints strategic vulnerabilities and drives policy recommendations that bolster Europe’s economic decisiveness and global standing.
Breakthrough innovations—AI, quantum computing, 6G— carry immense promise, as well as risks and complex challenges. ECESTR provides a platform to shape innovation and convenes stakeholders to steer technological progress in line with European values of privacy, transparency, human rights, and sustainability.
From pandemics and cyberattacks to energy disruptions, Europe needs coordinated and cross-border responses. ECESTR fosters preparedness through scenario planning, risk mapping, and collaborative exercises that build institutional and sectoral readiness.
Addressing economic security and technological resilience requires collaboration across governments, industry, academia, and civil society, both inside and beyond the EU. ECESTR brings these voices together, acting as a convening force and turning fragmented insights into unified strategies.
Rapid change calls for agile, data-driven policymaking. ECESTR delivers research, strategic foresight, and actionable data to help EU institutions anticipate emerging risks, anticipate disruptions and craft proactive responses.
