On this week’s episode, GLOBSEC’s Economy and Business Programme is launching their podcast series titled Achieving Competitiveness. Hosted by Katarína Strauszová, this week’s episode features Ján Mykhalchyk Hradický, GLOBSEC External Fellow, as they dive into a pressing question: why is modernizing Europe’s electricity grid key to achieving a successful green transition and boosting economic competitiveness?

This discussion highlights the newly launched GLOBSEC Grid Transition Index, which evaluates and ranks the state of electricity grids in 35 European countries, focusing on their preparedness to support the green transition. With 29 indicators and over 3.5 million data points, the Index fills a critical gap in understanding the state of Europe’s electricity grids.

As this is the first edition of the Index, we’re eager to hear your thoughts! Whether you’re a researcher, energy expert, or simply passionate about grid modernization, we’d love your feedback to help us make future editions even better. Reach out to us at katarina.strauszova@globsec.org.
