Applied energy engineering is rarely treated as an industrial force in its own right. In most European energy discussions, engineering appears as an overhead line in EPC budgets, a cost centre rather
Germany’s industrial bottleneck and Serbia’s window: How machinery, metals, engineering and industrial services are being rewired across Europe
Germany’s industrial challenge in 2025–2026 is no longer framed around competitiveness in abstract macro terms. It is defined at plant level, production-line level and, ultimately, at the investment c
Technology, not compliance, will decide who survives carbon pricing in Serbian industry
When Serbia introduced dual carbon taxation starting in 2026, the immediate debate focused on numbers. At €4 per ton of CO₂ equivalent, many industrial operators initially treated the levy a
South-East Europe as Europe’s industrial pressure valve: Metallurgy, materials and engineering in one system
Europe’s metallurgical and critical raw materials supply chain is not being dismantled, nor is it being rebuilt in the way official strategies describe. Instead, it is being re-zoned. Carbon, cost and
Power systems digital engineering and grid intelligence: How Serbia is becoming Europe’s execution backbone
Europe’s electricity system is entering a phase where engineering capacity, not capital or political will, has become the primary constraint. Across the continent, transmission and distribution operat
Power systems digital engineering and grid intelligence: Why Serbia is emerging as Europe’s execution backplane
Europe’s electricity system is entering a phase where engineering capacity, not capital or political will, has become the primary constraint. Across the continent, transmission and distribution operat
Serbia as Europe’s energy shock absorber: How South-East Europe carries the burden of the core markets
Europe’s energy transition is entering a phase where ambition, capital and policy alignment are no longer the binding constraints. The limiting factor has become execution. Across power generation, gr
Applied energy engineering: The missing near-sourcing link in Europe
Applied energy engineering completes the near-sourcing picture for Europe’s energy transition, filling a structural gap that hardware manufacturing, raw-materials access and capital mobilisation alone
Applied energy engineering as Europe’s missing near-sourcing layer
Applied energy engineering completes the near-sourcing picture for Europe’s energy transition, filling a structural gap that hardware manufacturing, raw-materials access and capital mobilisation alone
Industrial cybersecurity engineering (OT / SCADA): Why Serbia is becoming Europe’s defensive execution layer
Industrial cybersecurity has moved decisively out of the IT department and into the operational core of Europe’s energy and industrial systems. Power grids, substations, pipelines, refineries, water s
