IAA

A new submarine cable between Finland and Sweden has been announced, according to Sweden's public broadcaster SVT, citing Finnish media Yle. The cable would strengthen telecom connections across the Baltic Sea, a link that has drawn attention amid recent concerns over undersea infrastructure security in the region.

Attention is on the IAA mobility show in Munich, where European policymakers and industry leaders are presenting proposals to strengthen 'Made in Europe' manufacturing, particularly in the automotive sector. Discussion centres on which initiatives the European Commission and member states may put forward to boost European industrial competitiveness against competition from China and other rivals.
