Description

Europe has strong AI research and emerging frontier companies, but the continent needs more labs building next-generation foundation models at global scale. Rather than catching up on today's paradigm, Europe's strategic opportunity is leapfrogging to the next S-curve in AI. This roundtable brings together builders, investors, and ecosystem leaders to explore: What does the next frontier look like? How do we mobilize talent and capital? And what will it take for European labs to compete – and lead – globally?
