Ekaterina Zaharieva

And we did this over Christmas effectively.

And then in beginning of 2025, handed this to Commissioner McGrath and Zaharieva, the Justice and Startup Commissioners in the European Commission.

And yeah, so basically since over like one and a half years now, Brussels knows how this should be done and knows that the entirety of the ecosystem wants this.

And since then we've, we've been doing like a bunch of campaigns and working sometimes more closely, sometimes less closely because it's, it's honestly to me also a new experience working with Brussels, but trying to influence the process and like trying to be, I think a good representative of what the ecosystem wants on this.

Let's close with space.

The European Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva met in Brussels these days with the head of the Israeli Space Agency, as a political reporter.

They want to make agreements to integrate the aerospace sector and air defense.

Why now? Because American private giants like SpaceX and Blue Origin have snubbed Paris' space summit this week.

Uh, one of them, of course, is the VIP- VP of, um, Sovereignty, Henna Virkkunen, and her team.

Then you have Ekaterina Zaharieva, who is in, um, in charge at the European Commission for Research and Innovation.

And then I will highly recommend Diego Solyer, who is a member of European Parliament, working on sovereignty, but also in the cloud and AI and development.

I would recommend to follow them to see, uh, which angles they, they have today, and then, of course, to build on your own understanding.
