Channels of Vulnerability

RESURGE addresses the critical dilemma modern Europe faces today: how to strengthen the EU economic security while maintaining an open, flourishing global economy. The channels we track include:

Trade & Operations

Finance & Digital

Research & Assets

Our Approach

RESURGE will investigate the implementation of measures related to the three pillars of the 2023 Economic Security Strategy (Promote, Protect and Partner) complemented by one more pillar: Prevent.

01

Prevent

Anticipate, detect and mitigate emerging risks & strategic vulnerabilities before they become threatening.

02

Protect

Shield critical technologies, infrastructure, and data from coercive economic pressure.

03

Promote

Deepen economic ties with trusted partners and diversify supply chains to reduce strategic dependencies.

04

Partner

Build stronger ties with like-minded partners across the globe to advance shared economic security.

The research will conclude by setting out recommendations for improving the current measures.

1st Foresight Workshop

During the RESURGE project kick-off in Brussels, partner Finland Futures Research Centre (FFRC) led the consortium’s first Strategic Foresight Workshop. The session mapped future scenarios and analysed key economic security risks for Europe—ranging from supply chain chokepoints to lawfare and digital vulnerabilities—to help build forward-looking EU policy toolboxes.
