What Europe lacks is not necessarily talent. The bigger challenge is keeping ambitious founders here, financing them at scale and capturing more of the value created by European technology.

In this episode of This Week in European Tech, Dan Bowyer and Priyanka Savjani of SuperSeed are joined by Andrew J Scott of 7percent Ventures to discuss what needs to change if Europe wants to build and retain more global technology leaders.

They cover EU Inc., European pension capital, AI sovereignty and access to frontier models, as well as Europe’s space ambitions and the wider economic impact of AI.

The conversation also looks at what happens if AI shifts more value from labour towards capital, and whether Europe is positioned to benefit from that shift.

Highlights

  • Why Europe’s talent may not be the real constraint
  • Whether EU Inc. can reduce fragmentation
  • Why domestic capital matters for European tech
  • What AI sovereignty really means
  • Why access to frontier models could become a strategic risk
  • What Europe needs to unlock in space
  • How AI could reshape the balance between labour and capital
  • Deals of the week across AI and space
