No. 5. The hard question: who will actually build what Europe needs?
Europe can increase budgets by 50, 100 or 200%.But can it increase production capacity by even 10%?Right now:lead times are exploding;SMEs are overloaded;qualification queues are full;OEMs can’t find and select new suppliers fast enough;securing qualified human resources is challenging than ever;many raw materials and components still come from China or non-EU sources.Capacity. Capability. Compliance.This is the real bottleneck.Europe’s new industrial renaissance will succeed or fail on this point alone.
