Deepening Transatlantic Cooperation

The war in Ukraine is a stark reminder that the transatlantic alliance is as important today as it has ever been.  But beyond the military domain, if the EU and the US are to be leaders in the creation of cutting-edge technologies, they must now join forces.

 
Bruce Stokes suggests a set of innovative initiatives modelled on the US’ highly successful Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA).

He calls for a transatlantic research effort for batteries, chips, agriculture and health – from TARPA-B and TARPA-C to TARPA-A and TARPA-H.

This would benefit not only Americans and Europeans – but also the citizens of the world meet future challenges.
