The #EU has big plans for #quantumcomputing - @ThierryBreton recently said that he wanted Europe to be the world's "quantum valley".

But what exactly is it? And how is the EU planning to leverage - and regulate - it?

Here's @LeoVenez's explainer 👇

These billboards urging 🇪🇺action on the long-stalled #MethaneRegulation went up in Brussels this week.

In 30 minutes I'll be grilling lawmakers about why they haven't acted on last year's Commission proposal to cut #methane emissions.

Today’s (not-so) #minibudget2022 will mean massive changes to the UK economy.

It also represents a huge ideological departure from the previous @Conservatives government - and the biggest tax giveaway since 1972.

It's more important than ever for business leaders to be communicating about #ESG - but according to our recent research, many are MIA. It's time they felt the fear and did anyway. My piece for @PRWeekUK👇

[PRWeek UK @prweekuknews]

PR bosses must face their fear and engage with ESG on social media #pr #comms https://t.co/KVy4BYkuZv

In the face of growing global challenges, senior business leaders are under more pressure than ever to act. How should they be using social media to talk about #purpose and #ESG?

Our new report with @EACD looks at the challenges involved - and how to navigate them👇

@vestager on digital skills at #PoweringTheDecade: ‘It’s important to think about digital experts in agriculture, digital experts in energy, digital experts in mobility’ rather than expecting people to start as experts in digital.

[Tomas Vitas @tomasvitas]

“CO2 doesn’t care about war. Neither digital transition nor climate change will stop,” said Margrethe @Vestager, European Commission EVP for a Europe fit for the Digital Age, in an interview w/ @SamuelStolton during #PoweringTheDecade event today.

"It is fair to say that the results of #COP26 were disappointing," writes our EU Public Affairs director @TatuLiimatainen in his latest @BrusselsTimes op-ed, adding "still, #COP26 may yet prove to be a stepping stone along the way to a better deal."

[Fourtold @FourtoldTweets]

ESG issues have never been more important or higher up the boardroom agenda.

🟣Are your company's execs talking about ESG on social media?
🟣What's driving them to do this?
🟣What are the challenges?

[Matthew Willis @ftwillis]

Nice conversation with my Brussels based colleagues @TatuLiimatainen @OmarMockbil and @SparklyPinchy on climate policy, #COP26 and what it means to public affairs and #communications. Well worth a listen.

[Fourtold @FourtoldTweets]

With #COP26 now underway and so much riding on its outcomes, our colleagues @OmarMockbil & @TatuLiimatainen recently joined @SparklyPinchy on the @Provoke_News podcast to talk about regulatory + policy milestones around environment, climate, and sustainability.

[Fourtold @FourtoldTweets]

"The eyes of the world will turn to Glasgow next week, where world leaders and various entourages gather to tackle climate change for the two-week-long UN climate summit," writes our EU Public Affairs director @TatuLiimatainen in his latest @BrusselsTimes op-ed on #COP26.

[Fourtold @FourtoldTweets]

COP26 will be the 1st time since the 2015 #ParisAgreement, that countries will report on their work to tackle #climatechange & critically, what actions they will take by the end of this decade.
