As global competition heats up, now’s the time to accelerate.

That’s why we’re turning Europe into a launchpad for:
🎯 Research careers
📈 Startups and scaleups
🥇 Innovation, decarbonisation, and economic security

@EUCommission the only visible innovation in my living area. Parking vehicles are now possible through the easypark app. Ah yes, also #Austria finally implemented pet recycling widely.

When I photographed this red-footed falcon, I was simply thrilled to have it so close. Only later, while looking at the image, did I realize what it was holding in its beak, a lizard.

A reminder that every moment in nature tells a story. Sometimes, that story hits harder than expected.


Of course, I know that the falcon has to eat. But witnessing this moment even unintentionally touched me.
