At Verdegress, we believe Europe must become cleaner, safer, more resilient and more prosperous.
True prosperity depends on independence: independence from fossil fuels, from volatile global supply chains, and from regimes that weaponize energy.
Today, the European Union still relies heavily on fossil fuel imports from the US, Africa, Gulf states, digital and defense services from the U.S. and rare earth metals and technologies from China…and the list goes on.
In 2024 alone, the EU spent over €315 billion on imported fossil fuels draining capital that could have strengthened our own infrastructure, innovation, and communities.
Yet at the same time, Europe has the capital, the technology, and the expertise to build a stronger, more independent future. What’s holding us back are internal barriers such as fragmented regulation, slow permitting and a lack of coordinated will that prevent us from fully using the resources we already have.
This is not just an environmental issue. It’s an economic and strategic imperative.
By developing local, sustainable energy systems and integrating them with smart infrastructure and inclusive real estate, we can help build a future where:
- Energy is clean, affordable, and secure
- Communities thrive through local investment and jobs
- Europe leads globally in sustainable innovation and self-reliance
This is the future Verdegress is working to deliver.
