Europe's digital future envisioned as a mesh, not a hub
Original: Small is beautiful 2050: Europe’s digital economy as a mesh, not a hub
Researchers at CEPR argue that Europe's digital economy by 2050 should develop as a decentralised mesh of interconnected regions and firms rather than concentrating around a few dominant hubs. The piece 'Small is beautiful 2050' contends that dispersed, networked structures would better serve European competitiveness, innovation and resilience than a hub-and-spoke model dominated by major centres.
Why now: Ongoing European policy debates about digital sovereignty, competitiveness and how to structure the EU's digital economy are drawing attention to alternatives to centralised models.
