Participants highlighted the importance of investing in AI and treating chips, compute, energy and data infrastructure as critical national assets.
The summit also discussed recommendations to reform Europe’s energy market, redefine competition policy to allow globally scaled companies to form, redirect defence spending toward dual-use research and improve the implementation of policy roadmaps.
FII PRIORITY Europe 2026 concluded with recommendations including shorter defence procurement timelines, full control over the integrated AI stack, investment anchored in independent institutions and regulations designed to support growth and implementation.
