The State of AI in Europe: Launch Event
Join us for the launch of State of AI in Europe: The Invisible Giant - a landmark report by Dealroom and Prosus that cuts through the noise to reveal the surprising truth about Europe's AI position, and what it will take to turn potential into power.
Europe helped invent AI, its researchers are world-class, and its citizens are the biggest users of AI globally. Yet it captures just 12% of global AI VC funding, owns less than 5% of AI compute, and watches its best startups get bought and scaled by American firms.
Europe is a giant. But right now, it is invisible - and the window to change that is closing. Those who move now will define the next decade. We must build as if Europe's future depends on it -because it does.
