Seen at first as a compromise deal instead of the defunct trade agreement between the EU and USi, and after a rough start in 2021, the EU-US Trade and Technology Council proved to be a valuable instrument of EU soft power in shaping a working and valid relationship with the US. The next European TTC, this time with India is based on shared goals, mostly on the need to contain China and its rise in the technology field.

With the rapid pace of AI development and its impact, the need for appropriate regulation has become urgent. In this first of a series of articles, Time&Place’s AI Task Force explores the nature of AI, challenges states face with regulation, and the contrasting stances taken by major actors like the EU, US, and China.
In a global economy heavily reliant on cutting-edge technology, supercomputers and AI, the semiconductor industry has emerged as a crucial battleground for dominance between major players like the United States and China. To counter their growing influence, the European Union recently passed the EU Chips Act, an ambitious attempt to secure the EU's position in the semiconductor market. However, the EU strategy on semiconductors may be too little in terms of financing, as it draws mainly funding from existing instruments and too late, as both the US and China have already established significant leads in the race for chip supremacy.
With the EU-Mercosur deal back on the table, climate concerns, social issues, and geopolitical dynamics still pose challenges. The re-election of Lula da Silva in Brazil and EU`s renewed push for such an agreement provides hope that a deal can be finalised this year. We believe a potential Trade and Technology Council between the two blocs (similar to the EU-US TTC) would act as forum for addressing common market solutions.
On July 20th the European Commission shortlisted three large cities across Europe for the next EU Green Capital Award 2025. Although it was not a finalist, Brașov (Romania) won our recent online poll about eco-friendly cities, and we explore here on what it has to offer.
It is clear that in the allocation of green funds, a more equitable and proportionate approach across EU’s geographies need to be set. But, how can this be achieved?
We are a strategic communications, public affairs and project management agency which brings together a global network of experts in government relations, legal affairs, association management, public funding as well as reputation and crisis management.
Our select network includes former political decision-makers, Commission officials, association Directors and multinational CEOs, as well as award-winning lawyers. We combine tacit knowledge, sectoral expertise, and professional prowess to give tailored and holistic solutions.

Activities such as high-level networking, translating policy output into business impact, and strategic outreach have been a daily affair for us. We understand the context of the bigger picture and the value of the smallest detail. We have a variety of specific fields of expertise, such as Brexit, gambling and international trade. But, we also know how to give your expertise a voice and maximise the impact of your interests.
With partner and satellite offices across the globe (e.g. Galway, Kolkota, Vienna, Berlin, London, Milan, Managua & Jakarta) we are locally accessible and internationally present. One of many benefits: T&P can have an impact on EU decision-making processes directly through European capitals.
Our concept is based on the flexibility to adapt our consulting team of trusted partners to your needs. This lowers costs and allows independence to adapt to your needs rather than rigid organisational structures where costs for other potential non-profitable branches need to be covered by the client’s invoice.
At the heart of our approach are trust and long-term vision. We believe in solid relations both with our clients and the decision-makers we approach for your needs. Our client codex is a tribute to this. In the same spirit, we believe in making sure that you get the services you seek. We don’t pretend we can. We don’t waste your and our resources on activities we cannot provide. Instead, we are always happy to see how we could help find someone else for you
Time & Place Consulting can only be commended for its ability to understand and tailor its services to the specific client’s needs. This was especially the case when we looked for Brexit related information services to get a sector specific overview and potential scenarios. The in-depth knowledge on procedures and potential economic consequences that Time & Place provided, was especially helpful in light of fact that nothing like Brexit has ever existed before.
