As part of the UASEEDs project, the Seeds of Bravery website and the Ukrainian Tech Ecosystem Overview platform by Techosystem have presented new research on the Ukrainian deep tech sector titled "Tech Ecosystem Overview - First update", which has provided valuable insights into the current needs and conditions of the sector. The study, conducted using both quantitative and qualitative methods, highlights the potential and challenges faced by Ukrainian startups on their way to integration into the EU market. Methodology and Key Findings The quantitative survey was conducted from June 5 to July 12, 2024, covering 44 companies, and was complemented by in-depth interviews with representatives of 10 deep tech startups from April 24 to July 17, 2024. The findings reveal trends related to team sizes, funding, and growth stages of startups. Specifically, 54.8% of the surveyed companies reported having up to 10 employees, and 42.9% employed between 11 and 50, indicating steady development. One company reported a team size of 101-250 employees, highlighting the potential for continued growth. Growth Trends: Technologies and Sectors Participating startups operate across several sectors, including healthtech, fintech, and agrifoodtech. A significant portion (40.9%) is at the early commercialization stage, while 38.6% are actively expanding. More than half (51.2%) have secured external funding, and 39.5% are actively fundraising. Key technologies among Ukrainian startups include artificial intelligence, blockchain, quantum computing, and bioengineering. Some startups are developing solutions to support Ukraine's defense and recovery efforts. Opportunities for EU Integration The study's findings indicate that many Ukrainian deep tech startups have strong potential for entry into EU markets, especially through international grant programs and business incubators. Challenges for these startups - from scaling to securing additional investment - underscore the importance of building more structured teams and enhancing collaboration with European partners. Such integration would strengthen both the Ukrainian and European innovation ecosystems, driving advancements in critical sectors like defense, sustainability, and healthcare. The "Tech Ecosystem Overview - First update report covers the following sections: The Ukrainian deep tech sector: Industries, Markets, and Characteristics. This section provides insights into the founding years of startups, the main industries they operate in, and team sizes, offering a comprehensive view of their scale and activity profiles.

Saudi Arabia’s electric power industry is the largest in the Gulf region. The country’s electricity peak demand in 2007 was 35 GW, and almost doubled in size to reach 61.7 GW in 2017. That means an average growth rate of 5.31% annually. By 2030, it is expected to double again to reach a peak demand […]

One of the key claims used to legitimate market integration was that the freer movement of goods, capital, services and labour will automatically produce benefits for all participating countries without much supranational intervention. This position is increasingly being challenged in Europe. Strong political forces in both the Southern and Eastern peripheries claim the European project has stifled, rather than improved their ability to grow as indicated by persisting economic disparities within the EU. Even in the scholarly literature, the dominating view is that market integration distributes gains and losses among participating countries unevenly and it has the uniform effect of decreasing the room for development in peripheral economies. And while we see EU attempts to level the playing field by way of transfers and transnational industrial policies, their role is limited. The dominating EU strategy for managing developmental diversity still relies on the disciplinary power of markets and supranational hierarchies, an approach that is looking ever less convincing. Is there another way for the supranational strategies to help promote development in the peripheries? In this podcast, Dr. Julia Langbein (ZOiS), Prof. László Bruszt (Central European University) and Dr. Vera Šćepanović (Leiden University) argue that the European Union can use, and has used in the past, a surprisingly big variety of strategies to manage the developmental consequences of market integration in its peripheries. Across the Southern and Eastern EU member states, as well as in the states outside the EU, these strategies have shaped both the room for development and the capacity of domestic states to use this room. As the effect of these strategies has ranged from political and economic decay to industrial upgrading and revival, the deeper exploration of these strategies has relevance also for integration attempts in other parts of the world. The presented insights got recently published in a Special Issue for the Review of International Political Economy. (Music: “Complete” by Modul is licensed under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0-License.)

December 12, 2019 The international community is currently holding its 25th Conference of Parties in Madrid to negotiate climate protection targets and measures. As the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, China is a major player in the discussions on how to achieve effective action for climate protection. One day before the China Renewable Energy Outlook 2019 was presented in Madrid on December 12, China’s role in climate policy was the topic at a MERICS Lunch talk. The panel included Carolin Schenuit (Team Leader for System and Market Integration of Renewable Energies at the German Energy Agency, dena) and Lars Møllenbach Bregnbæk, partner at Ea Energy Analyses (Ea). Both were also involved in drafting the outlook together with the Chinese think tank China National Renewable Energy Center (CNREC). Nis Grünberg, analyst at MERICS and expert on state-owned-enterprise reform in the energy sector, completed the panel. They discussed the challenges faced by China in its energy transition and ways in which China can meet its obligations under the Paris Agreement. The discussion was prefaced by a presentation of the China Renewable Energy Outlook 2019 by Carolin Schenuit. Kerstin Lohse-Friedrich, Director of Communications at MERICS, moderated the event.

This study analyses the geographic integration of electricity wholesale markets with a focus on Germany and its neighbouring countries. We employ various indicators based on publically available data and find that electricity markets have become more integrated since the sector inquiry undertaken by the European Commission in the years preceeding 2006. However, European markets are not yet fully integrated. The results also suggest that stronger (and costly) integration towards certain countries may have only little or adverse effects on electricity wholesale prices in Germany. Finally, in the past, German electricity wholesale prices have appeared too low so as to trigger investments into new generation capacity. To that end prices do not appear inflated.

By using an existing and a new convergence measure, this paper assesses whether bank loan and bond interest rates are converging for the non-financial corporate sector across the euro area. Whilst we find evidence for complete bond market integration, the market for bank loans remains segmented, albeit to various degrees depending on the type and size of the loan. Factor analysis reveals that rates on large loans and small loans with long rate fixation periods have weakly converged in the sense that, up to a fixed effect, their evolution is driven by common factors only. In contrast, the price evolution of small loans with short rate fixation periods is still affected by country-specific dynamic factors. There are few signs that bank loan rates are becoming more uniform with time.

This paper discusses how an industrialized country could defend the wages and social benefits of its unskilled workers against wage competition from immigrants. It shows that fixing social standards harms the workers and that fixing social replacement incomes implies migration into unemployment. Defending wages with replacement incomes brings about first-order efficiency losses that outweigh the budget cost to the government. By contrast, wage subsidies involve much smaller welfare losses. While the exclusion of migrants from a national replacement program does not improve the situation, the (temporary) exclusion of migrants from a national subsidy program makes it possible to avoid a distortion of the migration pattern.
