Luc Albert
“The Covid-19 crisis has shown how challenging and socio-economically costly the lack of European unity can be. Securing a free, competitive and socially responsible Europe for future generations, while building resilience for challenges that lie ahead can only be achieved in unity.
As a mentor for United Europe, I’m very much looking forward to becoming part of a nurturing process to develop top European talents from different backgrounds and provide them with a sounding board.”
