Absent friends
The Turkic world is not quite as united as Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s talk of eternal brotherhood would suggest. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan used the occasion of the opening of the 13th summit of the Organisation of Turkic States (OTS) in Ankara on October 30 to tell the…

Paper walls
Tariffs in the Western Balkans are low; the cost of everything else that happens at the border is not. When the World Bank published its spring Regular Economic Report on the Western Balkans in April, the mood was gloomy. The bank cut its 2026 growth forecast for the region’s…

Estonia returns to investment promotion summit
Methodology this year favours reinvention: a response to the limits, increasingly visible, of traditional investment promotion practices. We have once again ranked the performance of 31 investment promotion agencies (IPAs) across Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Baltics,…

Emerging Europe and the next wave of growth: The Asia–Americas century
The next wave of global growth is being shaped along an axis that runs between Asia and the Americas. Emerging Europe, the most growth-hungry part of the continent, should be among the first to ride it. For most of the post-war era, the global economy had one dominant axis: the…

A family business new deal for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
The next decade will test more than the wealth of entrepreneurial families. It will test whether they can reinvent what they built, raise successors capable of judgement, and keep the human core of their companies intact while machines take on more of the thinking. For fourteen…

Information attacks are the new operational risk for companies in emerging Europe
The pattern is simple. An anonymous source. Cheap reach. Fake accounts to make it look big. And whoever speaks first sets the story. This summer, a Ukrainian IT company called Fractal was attacked. Not by missiles, but by anonymous online channels. In two months, almost 110…

Is Europe’s AI funding boom hiding a shortage of growth capital?
Europe’s AI funding has tripled, but mid-sized rounds have barely moved. Europe’s AI funding almost tripled in the first nine months of 2026, while investment rounds worth 25 million euros to 100 million euros barely changed. Tech.eu’s European AI funding data shows 18 rounds…
