Innovation is not just a stroke of luck or lightning in a jar. It is a strategic engine driven by specific KPIs and metrics that can be activated to shape the future of nations. In this episode, we sit down with Edoardo Giglio, a partner at Deloitte and author of Tech Tides, to explore how technological innovation has become the primary driver of global power.

Edoardo shares his unique journey from Scotland Yard and high-tech crime intelligence to advising governments on digital sovereignty. We dive deep into why some ecosystems like Silicon Valley thrive while others struggle, and what the European problem means for the future of the continent.

From the military-civilian symbiosis in Israel to the asymmetric strategies of Iran, this conversation provides a new lens through which to view today's geopolitical maneuvers. Key discussion points include the difference between research and development versus true innovation, the impact of the Draghi report, and why a federated model might be the only way for Europe to remain competitive on the world stage.

Whether you are interested in cyber strategy, defense policy, or the future of digital sovereignty, this interview offers a masterclass in how technology shapes the modern world.
