EEU Roadmap – A Clear View on Europe’s Future Technologies

A Clear View on Europe’s Future Technologies

Europe is entering a phase of major technological change. At the same time, countries like China work with long‑term plans that set clear priorities. Volkswagen CEO Oliver Blume recently pointed out that China’s Five‑Year Plans are “optimally structured” and that Europe could learn from this approach.
China’s new 2026–2030 plan also focuses heavily on technological independence and large‑scale R&D investment, which increases pressure on Europe’s industries. [welt.de] [martinkaessler.com]
This makes it even more important for Europe to understand which technologies matter and how different players can work together.

The EEU Roadmap addresses exactly that.

What the Roadmap Brings Together

Topics: Challenges, opportunities, or risks with clear descriptions.
Entities: Organizations or people active in these areas.
Capabilities: Skills or technologies needed to develop each Topic.
Assets: Existing resources, technologies, or infrastructure.
Effects: Expected impacts or dependencies.

This creates a clear picture of what Europe needs, what already exists, and where action is required.

What’s Coming Up Next

In the coming weeks:

We’re building new user interfaces on our backend server so that Topics, Entities, Capabilities, and Assets can be added quickly and easily. A rating system will help sort the most important topics. The visual network view will also play a major role, showing how everything in the roadmap links together.

In the coming months:
We will add AI tools that scan the web for new technologies, identify relevant companies and research groups, and suggest new entries for the Roadmap.

Why It Matters for Europe

China’s strategic planning puts European industries under pressure, especially in automotive, energy, manufacturing, and advanced materials. At the same time, leaders like Oliver Blume call for clearer priorities and faster decisions in Europe. [martinkaessler.com] [welt.de]

The EEU Roadmap offers a structured way to define Europe’s key technologies and bring the right people together.
