Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I’m your host, Allen Hall. I’m here with Matthew Stead, Rosemary Barnes and Yolanda Padron. And the UK is really gearing up for offshore wind and they’re making some really smart moves and. One of them is, uh, the change in tariffs. So the British offshore wind manufacturers have been fighting really an uphill battle for a long time and for years. The companies that build turbines and components in the UK have faced import tariffs on the materials needed most, which tends to be steels like steel. Uh, cables, specialized parts from overseas all carried a tariff with it. Well, now the federal government has acted to [00:01:00] remove those tariffs on offshore wind equipment. The move is expected to save UK manufacturers tens of millions of pounds every year. And for an industry trying to cut costs and scale up that kind of relief could make the difference between winning. Losing contracts, and I’m surprised the UK has waited this long and I think other countries have the same problem. Obviously the US is taring the heck out of everything at the minute, but uh, a lot of European countries do put tariffs on the raw materials and the components that are used to make wind turbines. That’s not a smart long term move if you’re trying to deploy. Gigawatts of offshore wind. Matthew Stead: Well, I, I think, uh, the recent events in the world show that energy security and not importing energy is a wonderful thing. And so this completely aligns with that, um, that objective. So I think that’s why we all agree with you, Alan. Allen Hall: Well do, is there a, a. A threshold here where other countries start to do it [00:02:00] and for whatever reason there’s, there’s tends to be tariffs on energy in all forms of it. Right. And there and on steel in particular, that seems to be a big area of concern. Are we gonna start to see some of those come down just to lower the cost of wind turbines and to deploy the middle of the water? ’cause there is a lot of steel in an offshore wind turbine. Matthew Stead: It’s been like China. I mean China has, you know, a lot of clean energy, low cost energy and it is to their advantage. So I, I think it’s a entirely logical approach and I would’ve thought it’s, if you’re a good on policy, you would definitely be looking at this. Allen Hall: Is this has been a concern of the UK steel industry, which has been diminishing over the years? Uh, so it’s always been a pain point with the uk. They’ve been trying to stand up their own steel industry and forever they had a big steel industry In the uk you think of all the. The steel that was built from late 18 hundreds all the way up to the 1980s and nineties. Uh, but it does sound like you, you gotta pick and choose your battles here. And maybe the UK has [00:03:00] finally said, okay, the, the steel battle is a separate issue within offshore wind, and maybe we gotta do something different. Matthew Stead: I mean, I think Australia did the same thing ages ago. I mean, we had a car, car industry and you know, we just didn’t have the scale. So, you know, Australia’s picking its battles and um, yeah, I mean, you can’t be good at everything, so you know why not. Uh, get the, the lower cost energy and um, deal with it that way. Rosemary Barnes: Australia has actually just announced, you know how Australia’s got the policy to support clean energy technology manufacturing in Australia. And they started with, um, solar panels and then they’ve also got something related to battery cells. Well, they just announced wind turbine tower manufacturing, um, which is very simple. The reason why Australia doesn’t have, um, wind turbine tower manufacturing anymore. Is just because we can’t compete on price with Asia, um, in general and China specifically. It’s interesting now to be like, okay, let’s support Australian [00:04:00]manufacturing of wind turbine towers when like there’s no technological barrier. It’s pure cost, cost issues. I would really love to see the Australian government supporting some of the new manufacturing methods and you know, like we’ve seen that Fortescue has invested in. Um, in Ena Lift, the Spanish, Spanish company, um, ESCU has, has bought their tower manufacturing. Um, it’s, it’s like modular, advanced thing that’s gonna work well for remote areas. Otherwise it’s just like, pay a bunch of money so that we can make towers more expensively, but we can sell them at a competitive rate with the Chinese. And I don’t know, to me that’s not very strategic. I always prefer we support the next, the next thing. Allen Hall: Whatever happened to spiral welding and making towers on site. I think that died about a year or two ago because they were trying it here in the United States and about building ’em at the wind farm. But it sounded like just setting it up to [00:05:00] build the spiral mechanism, the, the cold, uh, forming plus all the welding on top of it. It got to be so expensive to install on site that it was just easier to, to build a central location, which I think they were going for. I’m not even sure that in today’s world, because of the advanced technology in the existing way of manufacturing is so good and inexpensive that it makes any sense to try anything else. It just seems like it’s, there’s just stamping out parts right now. Rosemary Barnes: Oh, no. I mean, we definitely need new, new methods because we’re really constrained on how tall towers can get if you just wanna make a steel cylinder and ship it out in, you know, whole pieces, like whole cross sections and. Um, put them together vertically. That’s you. You know, like we’ve, we’ve gotten about as tall as we’re gonna get for that because if you want to go any taller, you’re gonna have to start massively increasing the thickness of the tower to make it stiffen up. And that just means way more steel to keep material costs reasonable. You need to increase the diameter, um, beyond [00:06:00] what you can transport on the road. Um, but I think that it’s like the, the, the problem is definitely real and well established, but it’s like with many other. Problems. You know when you start thinking, okay, we’ve got a solution to this problem at that time, there aren’t other solutions, so you’re sure that you know you’re gonna win. And so spiral welding was one of the early ones. Oh, we can fix this problem, but. While they’re developing that and trying to get the capabilities where it needs to be, the cost down, you’ve got a dozen other competing ways that you could solve that problem. And they include like, um, some manufacturers, I think Vestus is one. They’re cutting longitudinally. And so instead of, um, shipping out towers in a single cross section, it’ll be like four. And then they’re bolted together on site. Um, and then Concrete Towers is another one. The Naber Lift, um, thing that I mentioned. Matthew Stead: Wooden towers. Rosemary Barnes: Yeah, wooden Wooden towers is, uh, another one I’ve covered, uh, [00:07:00] on my YouTube channel. Matthew Stead: They really should make them out of carbon fiber, shouldn’t they? Rosemary Barnes: Well, I have, it’s not, it’s You’re saying that as a, as a crazy thing. It’s not, it’s not such a crazy thing. And I have, I have, I have looked into it. You wouldn’t do it outta carbon fiber. You’d do it outta glass. Um, there’s a lot of. There’s a lot of benefits to it, and I actually do believe that we might eventually see like 3D printed glass, um, towers. Allen Hall: No. Rosemary Barnes: Now we’re just getting into our standard. I, I believe the future might look different to the, to the present day, and Alan never thinks that anything’s ever gonna change. Matthew Stead: I would’ve. 3D uh, printed concrete towers would have some logic. Rosemary Barnes: There’s been pilots of 3D printed concrete, concrete towers. I’m, I’m pretty sure GE had a, um, a project on that and there might have been somebody else that did, took it a bit further. It’s all possible. It’s also like concrete towers are, are good, but it is local. Like it depends on having the right materials around locally. ’cause you don’t want to have to transport Hess of. Concrete and water to site. Um, [00:08:00] so yeah, anyway, the point is that like, just because you’ve identified a real problem and you’ve got a solution to it, if you are gonna take five or 10 years to develop your technology and get it to the right price point, you are not gonna be the only, the only solution anymore. So people often like massively overestimate how valuable their idea is. Um, and by the time that it’s ready, it’s not the best solution anymore. So I think like the lesson from that is to just. You need to just move really, really fast and keep your peripheral vision available to see what other technologies are developing in tandem and know when, when to pull the pin. If you are no longer, you no longer have a path to be the best solution, then. Stop. Even if you’ve got 90% of a solution, don’t bother with the last 10%. If you’re never gonna sell it, you know it’s a waste go. Um, let, let all your smart people work on something else. Allen Hall: Delamination and bottom line, failures and blades are [00:09:00]difficult problems to detect early. These hidden issues can cost you millions in repairs and lost energy production. C-I-C-N-D-T are specialists to detect these critical flaws before they become expensive burdens. Their non-destructive test technology penetrates deep to blade materials to find voids and cracks. Traditional inspections, completely. Miss C-I-C-N-D-T Maps. Every critical defect delivers actionable reports and provides support to get your blades. Back in service, so visit cic ndt.com because catching blade problems early will save you millions. Can we pull the pin? On digital twins. I came across another company that was pushing digital twins in the wind turbine space. And I thought, I thought we got rid of that a year ago. Can we stop doing that? Rosemary Barnes: I, um, in general, like I think a lot of times you see digital twins and I can’t see the point, but there are some applications where you [00:10:00] definitely can, Matthew Stead: uh, I can add on the digital twin, so the IEC 61 400 dash 32, the new blade o and m standard has in the, in its current draft, it has a section on digital twins. Um, and um, at the last meeting there was a debate as to whether that should be taken out because actually, um, AI, ml, um, all these, um, approaches will just overrun the concept of the traditional digital twin. So, um, I was voting for it to be removed, um, but. Other people didn’t. And so it’s still in the current draft. Yolanda Padron: I am a little bit tired around digital twins at the idea of, like, I’ve seen the title slapped around a lot of things that just aren’t digital twins. And I think that gets even more confusing to a lot of people who are just new to the space or new to the idea that then they, they, they hear digital twin, they have like an idea about it or like, oh, it’s really great, and then they pursue something that just [00:11:00] really isn’t, it’s just a. A monitoring system that they wanted to name something else. Allen Hall: Yes, that’s it. Rosemary Barnes: I’ve seen it used well in manufacturing, which is not usually what people are selling it as, but you know, if you have a new composite part, for example, and like a wind turbine blade is a really good example, you design it. And then you can only test it to a certain extent. Um, and you never know exactly what you’ve made, right? And so it’s really hard to kind of relate, like to validate your design tools when not every blade is the same. You know, it’s aiming to be the same. The design is the same every time, but you’re gonna get different results every time you test it. But with some advanced, uh, manufacturing, like my favorite thing to argue with Alan about 3D printing, um, fiber reinforced composites. You can really precisely know exactly what your part looks like all through the structure. You know where every void is. Um, you know where every fiber is and then so you know that exact part. Then you can test that exact part, and you do that with, you know, a dozen of them and you can really [00:12:00] build up a model of what kinds of defects are really, um, you know, doing what to the performance output. And then that can help you to get your quality, um, acceptance to really, like you, you can do the things that matter instead of guessing, oh, okay, yeah, we know that we want this much. Bond line, you can actually know, okay, well like where does that matter? Where doesn’t it? What’s the actual threshold? However, it’s very expensive to do that, and I don’t know that it would make sense for wind turbine blades economically, maybe. Maybe it will one day. I mean, if we can get the quality data that we need, there are big pro quality problems that need to be solved with blades so. I think it’s something to not totally rule out anyway. Matthew Stead: That’s quality control. That’s not a digital twin. Rosemary Barnes: No, but it is. You have the di you have the make up a digital twin of the, of the part that you’ve made, and then you test it and then you can, um, digitally test the [00:13:00] part that you, the model that you have. So it is a digital twin. Um, it’s just used in a very different way to what digital twins are usually sold as. It’s not at the right level yet for a hundred meter long. Composite wind turbine blade. Um, and also because you would need to destructively test, you know, a, a whole bunch of blades which no one can afford to, to do that. Yolanda Padron: What if we were to take all the money from like FSAs and stuff that they have to spend, like the OEMs actually have to spend from all of the manufacturing defects from, oh, I tweaked this on this blade type in this. Factory and set it to print and then I tweaked it over here and then I set it to print for like hundreds and hundreds of blades. Um, you know, all of that money spent accumulates too, if we really wanna look at the business case. But eventually, I think maybe it’d be great if it were to work out. I am also.[00:14:00] Hoping Rosemary Barnes: I, I think it would be a really interesting project to work, and I bet I could. I, I bet that, you know, a good project manager could get, get a positive business case out of it. At the end. One of the problems is that like service, the service department bucket of money is not at all related to the manufacturing bucket of money. Um, so, or the, yeah, the engineering back of the money that, that, that would be a really big problem and make it harder to find a positive business case. But I still think that it’s, um. Yeah, it, there’s a lot of potential there. It would be really interesting project to work on. Matthew Stead: In terms of the operational phase, I, I think, um, like I said before, the A IML tools. A way more powerful with anomaly detection rather than building a, a fancy digital model, which is not accurate. Um, actually you’re better off looking at the deviations and then the anomalies from what you expect. And I, and there are quite a few people that are doing that, and I, I personally think that’s a way more effective method during the operations and maintenance phase. Rosemary Barnes: But I think that that [00:15:00] would be related. It would be a way to improve what you’re doing there because you said, yeah, digital twin, that’s not. Accurate. So you would need to be accurate. That would be the project to figure out like how you can get accuracy in the right places that you need it. You wouldn’t be able to afford to have accuracy over the entire blade ’cause it’s just way too much data. And then, um, it would help you to figure out like what anoma, what anomalies do we need to look for that are the, the critical ones. I, I think that they would, they would work in partnership. Um, not as two separate things. Can I just plug, because I’m gonna go to China in April and can I just plug that if anyone has any projects, I’ll be there anyway. And um, yeah, so I am sharing the cost of the trip between a few different collaborations and there will be a chance. To, to get me out there to see some manufacturing, et cetera. Would be really excited to go visit some Chinese [00:16:00] manufacturing, some Chinese development. Got a few, few tentative irons in fires at the moment, but would love to have Chinese companies reach out to me and see if we can arrange a collaboration Allen Hall: as wind energy professionals.

It has been a turbulent chapter in offshore wind in America. No doubt about that vineyard wind. The first large scale offshore wind project in the US has faced a crazy difficult road after months of uncertainty, partial construction, and a federally ordered pause. The [00:17:00] project has reached a telling milestone the first. And final shipment of the last blade has departed the port of New Bedford, Massachusetts. And, uh, the blades were just sitting on port for a little while. Uh, Keyside. So this is the last blades or set of blades that’s going out to a turbine. This should sort of wrap it up. I, although I do think there are a couple of blades that may still need some modification updates, something of the sort. But in terms of getting termites out in the water. This should be it. And remember a few months ago, GE and uh, a number of others, vineyard was saying that they’re trying to be done in March. So they’re going to come really close to doing that. And that I know they’re trying to get power all turned on for the site. Because once that happens, it’s really hard for the, uh, the federal government to put any stops on them. I, I guess the question is now, is there any future for offshore wind for [00:18:00]ge now that this is complete and, and it’s kind of off the books, which is what they’ve been trying to do for the last roughly two years, is get it off the books. Matthew Stead: Um, as a positive, I mean. You know, every industry goes through challenges and improve. So I mean, despite all the turmoil, you know, there has to be some good come from it, even though it is been a painful, horrible process. You know, surely there’s some good come from it in terms of improved quality in the future, improved processes, so, Allen Hall: well, I, I guess that’s the question is are they taking some of these lessons learned and applying them, or are they taking the lessons learned and saying we’re not gonna do that again in, in terms of going down the pathway for offshore wind. Matthew Stead: Well, I think if, uh, if they don’t apply the lessons, that’s sort of, it shows a massive failure of an organization. Allen Hall: Yeah. It may, I guess it’s a question if it’s a technical failure or a financial failure. Maybe it’s both at the minute until they get everything up and running. But I think the financial side has been. Driving a number of the, of the decisions because the [00:19:00] technical side hasn’t gone all that well. Matthew Stead: Uh, I think, uh, I think the financial side is an art, which I don’t understand. Allen Hall: Yeah. Yeah. There’s a lot of moving pieces in financing offshore wind. Now, Vestas has won a, a couple of big. Uh, orders from RWB offshore and Vestus has obviously been in, in some offshore, not at the scale as originally as some of the other OEMs. It does look like the future is bright for Vestus offshore. Is that just gonna continue on that? Vestus is going to invest heavily in offshore and basically dominate that market. Or compete against a a Chinese manufacturer. It doesn’t seem like Siemens is gonna win a lot of offshore contracts off. At least today it doesn’t. You don’t see a lot of noise about that. You see mostly Vestas winning these gigawatt orders. It almost seems inevitable they’re gonna win most of them. Matthew Stead: Um, I don’t, being long way, way away from where these projects are being made, uh, installed. Um, I don’t have the same sort of insights. [00:20:00] Um, but, um, I mean, obviously yeah, vest, MHI, the previous, um, you know, joint venture with MHI, which especially heavy industries. Um, obviously they’ve come from a, a long pedigree of, um, working offshore, so yeah, I mean, why not? And, um, it seems to be a more of a gradual ramp up, um, and a more orderly, systematic ramp up for offshore. So, yeah. Why, why wouldn’t that work? Allen Hall: Well, we should hop on the. China discussion because, uh, China’s when turbine makers obviously been trying to build turbines in, in Europe at scale for quite a while now. Uh, and Ying Yang is talking about focusing their efforts on. Germany and they have joined the German Offshore Wind Association BWO. And this is not just a membership cards, uh, that they have subscribed to. It is really like, in a lot of people’s opinion, a strategic signal that Ming Yang intends to compete in the European off.[00:21:00] Market, maybe starting with Germany. Ming Yang was trying to get into Scotland originally, and they were talking about a billion and a half pounds being poured into Scotland to develop factories for offshore wind. Maybe that has come, uh, time has passed and Ming Yang is moving on to Germany. That’s what it reads like to me. Or, or they’re gonna hedge their bets and, and look at both places to see if they can get a foot. Print established in either country. Matthew Stead: I mean, reputation matters. So you really need to build up a, a footprint. And why would you apply a scatter gun approach? So, I mean, you know, just targeting, you know, one region or, um, you know, makes complete sense to me. So, you know, get, get, get some turbines in the water, get them up and running, get them, get the reliability and the, the reputation, and then, and then go from there. I mean, made complete business sense. Allen Hall: Well, does that mean that, uh, a mean yang is going to have to lose a little bit of money early on to get some turbines in the water just to demonstrate that they [00:22:00] can do it at scale in Europe? Matthew Stead: I might defer to Rosie, but I would’ve thought they don’t need to, you know, cut costs. I think they’re already cost effective. So you would’ve thought they would just go in, um, with their, their normal product offering and still be successful. Uh, but maybe I’m, I’m on the wrong mark there. Rosemary Barnes: My understanding is, and I, I don’t know heaps. But my understanding is with Chinese when turbines, that there’s a separate version for the Chinese market, and then if they wanna sell it internationally, then they need to make a new version of it that will pass the IEC, um, standards and the kinds of, you know, certification testing that everybody in those markets is used to. So you’re not always getting, or I don’t think you, I think you’re usually not getting the exact same product. So just because the product exists in China doesn’t mean that it is. Um, without risk in new markets. Allen Hall: Well, I’m, I’m just curious if ING Yang will have to do a complete IEC certification process because they haven’t done it yet. Uh, is that what you’re saying? Rosemary Barnes: They do [00:23:00] a, actually a redesign so that they can pass the, um. Certification and then they, yes, they do the whole certification process. However, Mingan hasn’t sold no turbines outside of China. So they have, or it’s not like this is a brand new thing for them that they’ll have to have to, you know, figure out as they go. Um, they’ve, they’ve, you know, I, I, if they haven’t done it for these specific turbines that they’re planning to manufacture in that factory, they’ve at least done it for others and know the process. Um, yeah, and I think we all know it’s not that hard to pass a certification test, so it’s not like a huge obstacle for them. But it will add, it will add cost to the, um, to the process and to the product. Probab probably, you know, there are some design changes that will be needed that will increase the cost of the product. So I don’t think that we’re gonna see, um, you know, Chinese turbines from any, any manufacturer outside of China that are as cheap as the prices that you see within China. Matthew Stead: To be fair though, um, there is a strong, um, Chinese involvement in the IAC committees. So, um, [00:24:00] definitely the, the standards are being used. So, you know, the standards are being used in China, and so I, I don’t think it’s a huge stretch from, you know, the, the domestic product versus the international product.

Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hiện là thị trường xuất khẩu lớn thứ ba và là thị trường nhập khẩu lớn thứ năm của Việt Nam. Năm 2026 được coi là “thời điểm vàng” để doanh nghiệp Việt Nam khai thác tối đa lợi thế từ Hiệp định Thương mại Tự do (EVFTA) với Liên Âu vì lộ trình cắt giảm thuế quan giữa hai bên đã tiến gần đến 100%. EU cũng không ngừng hỗ trợ Việt Nam trong chuyển đổi xanh để đáp ứng tiêu chí sản phẩm của khối 27 nước. Kể từ khi Hiệp định EVFTA có hiệu lực ngày 01/08/2020, giao thương giữa Việt Nam và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu không ngừng gia tăng. Năm 2025, tổng kim ngạch thương mại song phương đạt 73,8 tỷ đô la, trong đó Việt Nam xuất siêu khoảng 30 tỷ đô la.

Chủ tịch EuroCham Bruno Jaspaert đánh giá trong bài nhận định đăng trên The Investor ngày 19/01 : “Đây không chỉ là một con số ấn tượng, nó còn báo hiệu một sự chuyển biến rõ ràng trong tâm lý kinh doanh châu Âu, từ sự phục hồi thận trọng sang niềm tin chiến lược… Từ 2021 đến 2025, các nhà đầu tư châu Âu đã rót hơn 28 tỷ đô la vào Việt Nam. Điều này cho thấy niềm tin dài hạn của họ và tiềm năng của đất nước”. Trước đó, tại Diễn đàn Hợp tác Kinh tế Thương mại Việt Nam - EU 2025, diễn ra ngày 17/10/2025, phó chủ tịch EuroCham Jean-Jacques Bouflet nhận định : 76% lãnh đạo doanh nghiệp châu Âu hiện nay nhìn nhận Việt Nam là điểm đến đầu tư hấp dẫn, và 80% dự báo điều kiện sẽ còn thuận lợi hơn trong 5 năm tới. Khả năng phục hồi và tư duy cải cách : Hai yếu tố củng cố niềm tin Niềm tin này được căn cứ vào hai yếu tố chủ đạo : Khả năng phục hồi đáng kể ; tư duy cải cách mạnh mẽ. Khả năng phục hồi Về yếu tố thứ nhất, Việt Nam được giới chuyên gia đánh giá là đã thể hiện được sự linh hoạt, khéo léo hóa giải các biện pháp thuế đối ứng (ban đầu lên đến 46%) của tổng thống Mỹ Donald Trump. Giám đốc nghiên cứu Benoît de Tréglodé, nhận định với RFI Tiếng Việt : “Vấn đề thuế quan (với Mỹ) đã được Việt Nam đàm phán khá khéo léo, và cuối cùng họ không bị thiệt hại quá nhiều. Còn về quan hệ song phương với Trung Quốc, quan hệ đối tác kinh tế và thương mại đã cởi mở hơn và nhiều hơn. Nhìn từ góc độ này, bối cảnh rất đặc biệt cho Việt Nam, nhưng “ngoại giao cây tre” đã chứng tỏ hiệu quả đáng kể, bởi vì Việt Nam đã phần nào vượt qua các cuộc xung đột đánh dấu năm 2025 mà không bị thiệt hại đáng kể”. Năm 2025, Việt Nam gia nhập nhóm 25 nền kinh tế có trị giá xuất nhập khẩu lớn nhất thế giới, với tổng trị giá xuất nhập khẩu đạt 920 tỷ đô la. Theo Cục Hải quan, Mỹ tiếp tục là thị trường xuất khẩu lớn nhất (152 tỷ đô la) của Việt Nam và Trung Quốc tiếp tục là thị trường cung cấp hàng hóa lớn nhất (183 tỷ đô la) cho Việt Nam. Tư duy cải cách Tư duy cải cách mạnh mẽ là yếu tố thứ hai tác động đến niềm tin của doanh nghiệp châu Âu vào Việt Nam. Ngày 16/01, hãng tin Pháp AFP nhận định “từ khi lên nắm giữ vị trí cao nhất cách đây chỉ 17 tháng, ông Tô Lâm đã tiến hành chiến dịch chống tham nhũng quyết liệt, giảm bớt thủ tục hành chính và thúc đẩy đầu tư vào các công trình cơ sở hạ tầng” : từ 30 bộ và cơ quan chính phủ giảm xuống còn 22, giảm gần 150.000 công chức, khởi động nhiều dự án đầy tham vọng về đường sắt và năng lượng. Đối với nhiều nhà ngoại giao và nhà phân tích, được AFP trích dẫn ngày 16/01, “chính trị gia 68 tuổi là một chiến lược gia khôn khéo, có khả năng chấp nhận rủi ro, và những canh bạc táo bạo nhất của ông đã mang lại thành công”. Giáo sư danh dự Carl Thayer, Đại học New South Wales (Úc), “không gọi ông Tô Lâm là Trump của Việt Nam, nhưng đó là một nhà lãnh đạo tìm cách củng cố quyền lực để đưa ra những quyết định nhanh chóng và dứt khoát”. Đọc thêmEuroCham : Tinh giản hành chính nhưng cần nhanh, hiệu quả để Việt Nam tăng hấp lực Tân tổng bí thư “Tô Lâm sẽ vạch ra hướng đi cho các cải cách đã ấp ủ trong năm qua”, theo nhận định với AP của Nguyễn Khắc Giang, nghiên cứu viên thỉnh giảng tại Chương trình Nghiên cứu Việt Nam, Viện ISEAS-Yusof Ishak (Singapore) : “Tôi cho rằng các cải cách sẽ tiếp tục được đẩy nhanh sau Đại hội Đảng. Nhưng rõ ràng, sẽ có rất nhiều rào cản đối với các cải cách của ông ấy, đặc biệt là nếu nhìn vào cách thức mà các phe phái bảo thủ, nhất là quân đội, sẽ đặt ra nhất nhiều hạn chế, vì lo ngại rằng các cải cách sẽ đi quá xa, khiến Việt Nam có thể đi chệch khỏi con đường xã hội chủ nghĩa mà Đảng muốn đề ra cho đất nước”. EU sẵn sàng đồng hành trong quá trình chuyển đổi Vậy mô hình tăng trưởng mới gồm những điểm gì ? Đó là tái cấu trúc nền kinh tế, đặt mục tiêu tăng trưởng ít nhất là 10% hàng năm cho đến 2030, đưa thu nhập bình quân đầu người lên khoảng 8.500 USD vào năm 2030 ; tỷ trọng công nghiệp chế biến, chế tạo đạt khoảng 28% GDP; tỷ trọng kinh tế số đạt khoảng 30% GDP. Để thực hiện chiến lược này, chính phủ coi trọng ba nhóm giải pháp chính : Hoàn thiện thể chế để phát triển, xóa bỏ những điểm nghẽn, rào cản, giải phóng mọi nguồn lực (…) ; Phát triển nguồn nhân lực chất lượng cao, trình độ cao, trọng dụng nhân tài (…) ; Phát triển xây dựng kết cấu hạ tầng kinh tế - xã hội; nhất là hạ tầng giao thông chiến lược (đường sắt, cảng biển), hạ tầng công nghệ, hạ tầng năng lượng. Những hạ tầng này hết sức quan trọng để bảo đảm tăng trưởng 2 con số trở lên trong thời gian tới và mục tiêu đến năm 2045 trở thành một nước phát triển, có thu nhập cao. Đây cũng là ba trụ cột cốt lõi được chủ tịch EuroCham Bruno Jaspaert nhấn mạnh khi nói về chiến lược phát triển của Việt Nam để đạt được tham vọng này. Cụ thể, Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, cũng như các nhà đầu tư châu Âu, trông đợi gì từ Đại hội Đảng XIV ? Đại sứ EU Julien Guerrier nhận định với RFI Tiếng Việt : “Đại hội cần hướng tới việc xác định và phê duyệt các chính sách đã được hoạch định cho 5 năm tới. Việt Nam đang thực hiện quá trình đơn giản hóa hành chính ở quy mô lớn, bao gồm việc sáp nhập các tỉnh, bộ và đơn giản hóa các thủ tục, tất cả nhằm mục đích hiện đại hóa đất nước và thu hút đầu tư. Tôi nghĩ rằng điều mà chúng tôi kỳ vọng, đó là sự thành công của tất cả các cải cách này, để môi trường kinh doanh trở nên hấp dẫn hơn đối với các doanh nghiệp châu Âu tại Việt Nam và tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho đầu tư vào các lĩnh vực như năng lượng tái tạo, công nghiệp xanh và chuyển đổi số. Đây là những ngành công nghiệp của tương lai và cũng là những lĩnh vực mà Liên Hiệp Châu Âu có lợi thế cạnh tranh và có thể cung cấp cho Việt Nam những giải pháp công nghệ cao, an toàn, bảo đảm tính tự chủ chiến lược và độc lập kinh tế của Việt Nam đối với việc phát triển trong tương lai về những lĩnh vực trọng điểm này”. Đọc thêmEU-Việt Nam vượt bão thuế quan Mỹ qua Hiệp định Thương mại Tự do EVFTA ? Một khung pháp lý minh bạch, ổn định và nhất quán chính là nền tảng để xây dựng một nền kinh tế có thể tiến xa và tăng trưởng bền vững, để thuyết phục được các nhà đầu tư tự tin đặt những “viên gạch” dài hạn. Điểm này đã trở thành điều kiện tiên quyết trong bối cảnh cạnh tranh ngày càng gay gắt để thu hút đầu tư trực tiếp nước ngoài (FDI) chất lượng cao. Chủ tịch EuroCham cho rằng “nếu làm tốt, Việt Nam hoàn toàn có thể thu hút thêm nhiều dòng vốn châu Âu vào các lĩnh vực giá trị gia tăng cao như công nghệ, năng lượng tái tạo, sản xuất xanh và dịch vụ hiện đại”. Để hỗ trợ chuyển đối số, chuyển đổi xanh được chính phủ Việt Nam khẳng định “là hai yếu tố căn bản cấu thành một xu thế tất yếu, không thể đảo ngược”, Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và chính phủ Việt Nam đã ký Hiệp định tài trợ cho Chương trình Giáo dục nghề nghiệp Việt Nam (VETVET) với hơn 50 triệu euro. Được ký ngày 31/12/2025 - ngay trước khi khai mạc Đại hội Đảng XIV, Hiệp định có hiệu lực đến năm 2030, trùng với kế hoạch 5 năm 2026-2030. Đại sứ Julien Guerrier đánh giá Chương trình VETVET cũng sẽ giúp Việt Nam tăng sức hấp dẫn cũng như đáp ứng nhu cầu nhân lực của các nhà đầu tư, đặc biệt là các nhà đầu tư châu Âu, vào Việt Nam.
Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hiện là thị trường xuất khẩu lớn thứ ba và là thị trường nhập khẩu lớn thứ năm của Việt Nam. Năm 2026 được coi là “thời điểm vàng” để doanh nghiệp Việt Nam khai thác tối đa lợi thế từ Hiệp định Thương mại Tự do (EVFTA) với Liên Âu vì lộ trình cắt giảm thuế quan giữa hai bên đã tiến gần đến 100%. EU cũng không ngừng hỗ trợ Việt Nam trong chuyển đổi xanh để đáp ứng tiêu chí sản phẩm của khối 27 nước. Kể từ khi Hiệp định EVFTA có hiệu lực ngày 01/08/2020, giao thương giữa Việt Nam và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu không ngừng gia tăng. Năm 2025, tổng kim ngạch thương mại song phương đạt 73,8 tỷ đô la, trong đó Việt Nam xuất siêu khoảng 30 tỷ đô la. Theo báo Đầu tư ngày 07/01, Việt Nam là đối tác thương mại lớn nhất của Liên Âu trong khối ASEAN, đứng trong top 10 nhà cung ứng hàng hóa cho thị trường EU (Eurostat 2024). Doanh nghiệp châu Âu tin vào Việt Nam Liên Âu hiện là nhà đầu tư lớn thứ 6 của Việt Nam. Việt Nam trở thành điểm hấp dẫn trong mắt các nhà đầu tư Liên Âu. Trả lời RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 20/01/2026, đại sứ Liên Hiệp Châu Âu tại Việt Nam Julien Guerrier nhận định : “Tôi thậm chí có thể nói rằng trong một hoặc hai năm gần đây, chúng ta đã thấy sự gia tăng đáng kể về niềm tin của các nhà đầu tư châu Âu vào Việt Nam. Điều này được Phòng Thương mại Châu Âu - EuroCham tại Việt Nam đo lường hàng tháng. Mức độ tin tưởng vào đất nước gia tăng nhanh chóng. Năm 2025, tăng trưởng của Việt Nam đạt 8% và Việt Nam đặt mục tiêu tăng trưởng hai chữ số trong những năm tới. Vì vậy, đây là một quốc gia có nhiều cơ hội kinh tế, nơi có một mong muốn thực sự, một tầm nhìn để hiện đại hóa nền kinh tế Việt Nam, và là nơi đang thu hút ngày càng nhiều công ty châu Âu.

"I think one of the reasons I took [shutting down my charity] so hard is because entrepreneurship is all about this bets-based mindset. So you say, “I'm going to take a bunch of bets. I'm going to take some risky bets that have really high upside.” And this is a winning strategy in life, but maybe it's not a winning strategy for any given hand. So the fact of the matter is that I believe that intellectually, but l do not believe that emotionally. And I have now met a bunch of people who are really good at doing that emotionally, and I've realised I'm just not one of those people. I think I'm more entrepreneurial than your average person; I don't think I'm the maximally entrepreneurial person. And I also think it's just human nature to not like failing." —Sarah Eustis-GuthrieIn today's episode, host Luisa Rodriguez speaks to Sarah Eustis-Guthrie — cofounder of the now-shut-down Maternal Health Initiative, a postpartum family planning nonprofit in Ghana — about her experience starting and running MHI, and ultimately making the difficult decision to shut down when the programme wasn't as impactful as they expected.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.They cover:The evidence that made Sarah and her cofounder Ben think their organisation could be super impactful for women — both from a health perspective and an autonomy and wellbeing perspective.Early yellow and red flags that maybe they didn't have the full story about the effectiveness of the intervention.All the steps Sarah and Ben took to build the organisation — and where things went wrong in retrospect.Dealing with the emotional side of putting so much time and effort into a project that ultimately failed.Why it's so important to talk openly about things that don't work out, and Sarah's key lessons learned from the experience.The misaligned incentives that discourage charities from shutting down ineffective programmes.The movement of trust-based philanthropy, and Sarah's ideas to further improve how global development charities get their funding and prioritise their beneficiaries over their operations.The pros and cons of exploring and pivoting in careers.What it's like to participate in the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program, and how listeners can assess if they might be a good fit.And plenty more.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Luisa's intro (00:00:58)The interview begins (00:03:43)The case for postpartum family planning as an impactful intervention (00:05:37)Deciding where to start the charity (00:11:34)How do you even start implementing a charity programme?

It's a mandatory meeting this week as the queens give HR presentations to a live studio audience! (Really.) Joel Kim Booster is on hand to give the girls a boost but no one quite understands the assignment, including us. Sapphira stumbles and shines but we'll probably remember Mhi'ya the most, and we'd like to know more about that midday after party. The Miami girls get a little Florida in the lip sync, and we finally say goodbye to the Unsinkable Miss LaPaige. Want even more Alright Mary?

Pardon our delay this week and slight audio snafu starting about 17 minutes in, but if you take anything away from this episode, it's that Mhi'ya chooses Equal, Ethan Embry was not in the movie Frailty, neither of us get SpongeBob references, clapping along requires a lot of group trust, we have very subjective reactions to Leland on the keys and The Traitors really changes your view of how reality show competitions should be played. Also no one goes home and we have questions about the runway palette but you'll hear all that on the episode, you've waited long enough. Tot ziens!Want even more Alright Mary?

If the definition of goth is black and white, then this week was a goth-inspired design challenge. And the third this season! Most of the episode is waiting to see if Q, Nymphia or Dawn are going to win, while Sapphira makes two looks, Plasma goes in three different directions and Mhi'ya is acting like she got Sapphira's immunity potion. The biggest goop of the episode is the table flipping lip sync that proves that track record doesn't always matter and it's totally okay to take off your wig without another wig underneath. Alas it's curtains for Plasma and another W for Q. Want even more Alright Mary?

The Rusical is quickly becoming the event of each season over Snatch Game. Much like last year's Wigloose, The Sound of Rusic is a slickly produced and catchy mini musical the queens need to lip sync and dance along to, in roles so perfectly cast you'd think they were pre-chosen. Plasma, who so far has given zero indication that she loves musical theatre, is given the lion's share of a role, but Sapphira, Q and even Plane Jane make the most of the rest, while Morphine goes a little numb, Mhi'ya gets caught in a bad habit and Megami's always got that face on her face. (By the way, blink and you'll miss it, but Nymphia is in this episode.) A shoeless penguin slide saves the queen of flips till next week's lip sync and the Barbie of the outerboroughs takes the Verrazano home. Want even more Alright Mary?
