Explore how innovation funding is evolving in a digital world shaped by AI, global shifts, and new geopolitical trade rules.
🎧 From David Ricardo to Digital Trade: What Changed?
This episode unpacks the myths, risks, and new realities of globalization in the age of AI.
So… is globalization dead?
COVID, Russia’s war, and Trump’s new 2025 tariffs have many declaring its end.
But what if it’s just mutating?
🔍 In this episode of InnovEU – The EU Project Chronicles:
✅ We challenge the foundations of global trade, starting with David Ricardo’s 200-year-old theory of comparative advantage — and ask if it still makes sense in a world run by algorithms and platforms.
✅ We talk to Josh Dorfman, founder of Supercool, about building sustainable, green cities and how local innovation is reshaping global power.
✅ We analyse a powerful EU funding opportunity — EIC Pathfinder Challenge 01-04 — with up to €4M per project to turn waste into value. If you want to win EU grants, this part is unmissable.
