Europe finds itself at a crossroads. Decades of dependency meet a new global order in which geopolitics sets the pace. This study, developed by Themis Foresight together with NORD\/LB, shows why Europe\u2019s fragmented and bank-dominated capital markets are too slow and too inefficient to finance strategic ambitions in defense, digital technologies, energy and infrastructure. It argues for a fundamental modernization of capital allocation so that European savings build European capabilities instead of flowing abroad.<\/p>\n
The number is striking. By 2045, around USD 42 trillion must be mobilized. Without this effort, Europe risks funding gaps, mispriced risk and growing external dependencies. Today about 80 percent of defense procurement and 80 percent of corporate spending on cloud and software leave the continent. This weakens sovereignty and negotiating power.<\/p>\n
