Meeting of generations @oenb for the #SchumpeterAward Congratulations @AnjaPrummer & Maryna Tverdostup. You are great - such well deserved honours to both of you. Thanks @J_Kohlenberger for your inspiring introduction!
RT @AnjaPrummer: I met the incredibly impressive Margrethe @vestager, together with the fabulous Judith @J_Kohlenberger and the amazing Maryna Tverdostup. A big thank you to the Schumpeter society for their generosity. It was awesome.
Very honoured to receive the Schumpeter prize. Schumpeter’s emphasis on innovation still inspire us. It is important for competition policy as it creates a fairer distribution of new opportunities, while keeping prices low. It makes markets work for people https://bit.ly/3NozM6j

The return of war in #Europe makes us want to build a stronger #EUDefenceIndustry. Today we present a clear picture of the defence investments gaps that we face in 🇪🇺. We need to invest better & smarter. That also means investing together https://bit.ly/3yJZ3Up (1/2)
Inspiring comments, questions and support for the #TTC in the debriefing meeting. Thanks @berndlange
RT @VDombrovskis: Happy to debrief @EP_Trade MEPs on 2nd meeting of EU-U.S. Trade & Tech Council, with @vestager.
Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has brought 🇪🇺 & 🇺🇸closer than we have been for decades.
