📱 Information moves fast—and manipulation can move even faster.

GLOBSEC’s new publication, How to Protect Yourself Against Information Manipulation? A Guide for Young Moldovans, equips young people with practical skills to navigate today’s complex information environment.

Drawing on international research, hands-on exercises and real examples from the Republic of Moldova, the guide helps readers:

🔎 recognise misleading and manipulative content
✅ verify sources and claims
🤖 better understand AI-generated content
🛡️ build safer, more resilient digital habits

The publication also encourages young people to share what they learn with their communities—turning individual awareness into stronger societal resilience.

Why do we need the European Democracy Shield?

In 2024, 40% of countries holding national elections saw election-related violence. In 2025, the European External Action Service tracked 540 operations built to manipulate what people see online. This is why the EU is building a Democracy Shield: to protect our information space and independent media, to guard the institutions we count on, and to make our societies more resilient. 🛡️

How can Central and Eastern Europe accelerate AI deployment, modernize defence procurement, and strengthen transatlantic security? This critical question was at the heart of high-level roundtable co-hosted by the GLOBSEC GeoTech Center and the National Security Institute (NSI) at the American Center in Prague.

As part of GLOBSEC’s ongoing series of strategic events in the Czech capital, this gathering brought together key policymakers, defence experts, tech entrepreneurs, and top researchers from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss turning CEE's tech talent into actionable defence capabilities.

Key Takeaways & Takeouts:
🔶 From Regulation to Deployment: Europe must move beyond regulatory frameworks like the AI Act and rapidly scale operational AI adoption across defence and public administration.
🔶 Procurement Reform: Current defence acquisition models remain too slow and risk-averse. Governments need to create clearer demand signals, cut bureaucracy, and foster a culture of experimentation that tolerates calculated risks during prototyping.
🔶 Empowering Startups & SMEs: Dual-use tech innovation is increasingly driven by agile startups rather than traditional defence primes. Direct channels must be established for smaller companies to test solutions with military end-users.
🔶 Capital & Interoperability: Bridging the early-stage venture capital gap in European deep-tech is vital to scaling scientific research into battlefield capabilities. European technological sovereignty strengthens NATO deterrence when paired with common standards and interoperability with the US.

A big thank you to all our distinguished speakers, and guests who joined us at the American Center.

Why do we need the European Democracy Shield?

Trust in the EU has hit its highest level in 18 years. But the global level of freedoms has declined for 20 years straight, and only one in five people now live in a country rated fully free. The EU cannot assume it is safe. 🛡️

🚀 Europe is taking aim at the next generation of missile threats.

European missile makers and defence groups have launched a new consortium to develop what could become Europe's first interceptor capable of destroying medium- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in space.

But what does this mean for Europe's missile defence ambitions — and can Europe move quickly enough to turn strategic ambition into real capability?

👉 Hear the expert view from Tomáš Nagy on what this development means for Europe's future security and defence architecture.

The EU Single Market turned thirty, yet in some ways it's more fragmented today than it was back in 1992. One of the speakers put it bluntly: the barriers Member States effectively act as a 40% trade tariff.

That paradox framed our Forum side session "Fixing the Gaps in the European Single Market", organised in cooperation with Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung.

The freedoms the single market is built on don't work equally. Goods move relatively well, but services, which make up most of the European economy, are held back by clashing national rules. Money is fragmented too, pushing European capital and promising scale-ups toward the United States. Europe is great at launching startups, but struggles to help them grow across borders.

The proposed fixes? A voluntary EU-wide legal framework, the so-called 28th regime, to simplify cross-border business, plus completing the Capital Markets Union to keep investment at home.

Thanks to keynote speaker Markus Ferber, Marjut Falkstedt and Philipp Lausberg, moderated by our own Zuzana Peláková.

The question isn't whether Europe should invest in defence. The question is how.

The latest dives deep: battle readiness, defence financing, access to impact — and what "defending Europe" actually looks like from the countries that have always lived next door to the threat.
