Broad, but not unanimous con昀椀dence in Europe’s ability to build AI champions This year’s survey checked the pulse on European tech industry sentiment towards the region’s ability to build global AI leaders - a question that yielded interesting results. Overall, half the industry is con昀椀dent that Europe will be able to produce a generation of AI category-leading companies. But this con昀椀dence certainly does not extend to all, with 28% of respondents sharing a more pessimistic outlook in their responses. Inter- estingly, Europe’s founders were slightly less likely to take an optimistic view versus other respondent types. How confident are you in Europe’s ability to build global leaders in AI / ML?
