Europe is no longer a spectator in the Indo-Pacific.
Brussels, Berlin, Paris and London are rewiring policy, defence posture and capital flows to lock in strategic autonomy because 60 % of global GDP and every flash-point that matters sit in our neighbourhood.
Host Todd Crowley unpacks the quiet pivot you’ll miss if you only watch the headlines. German frigates surface in the South China Sea. EU cyber teams plug into Pacific networks. Global Gateway money starts chasing ports from PNG to Timor-Leste. Each move forces a simple question: where does that leave Canberra?
📍For defence planners: the era of one-size-fits-all coalitions is giving way to minilateralism—tight, mission-specific packs handling maritime presence, domain awareness and AI-enabled joint training. Australia owns the access; Europe brings kit and capital. Curate the engagement or watch others call the shots.
📍For trade officials: the stalled EU-Australia FTA is heating up because supply-chain security now beats tariff maths. Brussels is hunting lithium, rare earths, hydrogen and resilient food-water systems - budgets already earmarked. Miss this and your competitors sign the offtake agreements first.
📍For critical - industry operators: Crowley overlays Global Gateway finance on real projects - clean-energy hubs, submarine cables, water - security grids - showing how European standards plus Australian ground truth cut new corridors that lift regional resilience and trim risk premiums.
Takeaways land hard and actionable:
✔️ Map where EU procurement meets your export pipeline. ✔️ Align basing access and training spaces with minilateral partners, not just AUKUS. ✔️ Build ESG transparency now - Brussels will ask. ✔️ Plug Pacific relationships into Gateway bids before Beijing or Paris outruns you.
Listen in if you brief ministers, draft capability plans or chase capital for green infrastructure.
Skip the speculation - get the playbook.
