🚀Exclusive Commentary: Jason Corcoran's Insights from 20 Years of Covering Putin’s Russia 🇷🇺💡

As Europe navigates a period of profound geopolitical uncertainty, investors and entrepreneurs must stay ahead of the forces shaping our business, tech, and security landscape. The war in Ukraine, shifting global power dynamics, and Europe’s future defense capabilities are no longer just political concerns — they are central to the economic and technological decisions shaping tomorrow’s industries.

In the lead-up to his Keynote speech at Tech Tour Growth50 Europe — our premier summit in Paris on March 4 — we sat down with Jason Corcoran, a veteran journalist with 20 years of experience covering Russia, for a deep dive into the mindset driving Russian politics, Putin’s strategic calculations, and what it all means for Europe’s economic resilience.

🔎 In this exclusive pre-event interview, Jason shares his perspective on:
✔ What makes Putin 'tick'—The historical, cultural, and ideological forces shaping Russia’s geopolitical playbook.
✔ How Russia sees Europe—Why Russian propaganda paints Europe as weak, and how that perception emboldens Moscow.
✔ The future of European defense—Can a unified military strategy restore deterrence and safeguard economic stability?

🔥 Join us in Paris on March 4 at Tech Tour Growth50 Europe to hear Jason's exclusive insights firsthand, alongside Europe’s top investors, entrepreneurs, and policymakers shaping the future of tech and growth investment.
