We want to hear from you – let us know what your key takeaways are!

5/5

[BMW Foundation @bmwfoundation]

Going net zero & strengthening Europe’s industrial base is the goal. Europe needs a diverse energy plan that speeds up the transition and keeps power stable & affordable. Renewables need firm, flexible capacity – & until grids are integrated, remain tech‑open incl. SMRs.

4/5

[BMW Foundation @bmwfoundation]

Europe has top unis, research institutions, innovative firms, & deep capital markets. But it lacks alignment. To stay competitive, Europe must scale cleantech quickly and set clear rules for breakthrough tech like AI & fusion. Unity across member states is key.

3/5

[BMW Foundation @bmwfoundation]

The future prosperity of Europe depends on meeting rising energy demand while lowering costs, protecting critical infrastructure, and securing access to critical raw materials & strategic technologies. Energy security and competitiveness now go hand in hand.

Day 3's takeaways 🔑

1️⃣ India, Egypt, & the Middle East are important for Europe's econ stability & energy security—but expect equal terms & market access

2️⃣ Many European security interests will be decided in the Arctic

3️⃣ Investments in public infrastructure create security

A full house cheered, laughed, and roared as an intellectual joust unfolded on stage 🤺

Thank you, @nytimes, for bringing "Debatable" to the Energy Security Hub with the motion: Is Democracy too Slow for the AI Race?”

This was one for the history books 📚

“#Europe has to move back to manufacturing beyond wine and cheese. Renewables have become a religion. The EU should start with #Germany, it must become self-sufficient and stop outsourcing,” says @NarendraTaneja at the @bmwfoundation.

We need to stop declaring #multilateralism or international #cooperation “dead.”

If we want future corridors: #economic, #energy, or #development, we must push the models that work.

Productive discussion as part of @MunSecConf @bmwfoundation #MSC2026.

[Rania A. Al Mashat @RaniaAlMashat]

Instead of generalizing, we need to be granular. We should focus on what has worked, where gov., IFIs, private sector & multi-stakeholder platforms have delivered. These examples exist, and they matter.

The task is not to abandon cooperation.

Key takeaways from Day 2 🔑

1️⃣ Instead of waiting for what the US will do next, Europe should pursue its own goals and forge new partnerships

2️⃣ Public support for energy transition remains fragile

3️⃣ The industry needs fair competition conditions
