The EU Inc. proposal aims to simplify how businesses are established, financed and expanded across Europe. But can a common corporate framework overcome the legal fragmentation of the single market and strengthen European competitiveness?
Modern AI processors can perform extraordinary numbers of calculations. But what happens when information cannot reach them fast enough? The third article in *The Age of Light — Rethinking Intelligence* explores why moving data, rather than processing it, may become one of computing’s greatest challenges—and how light could offer new possibilities.
ESMC is preparing its Dresden factory for machine installation in 2027. Can the planned investment of more than €10 billion deliver reliable chips at a competitive cost—and give smaller European customers access to production?
CEA-Leti and ISRL have launched SubFAB Labs to study what chip manufacturing releases into exhaust gases and wastewater. The Grenoble pilot line will help suppliers test sensors and treatment systems under conditions that resemble industrial production.
Europe’s scale-up financing announcement combines around €2 billion in fund commitments with more than €8 billion in investment intentions. The test is whether European fund managers can lead the large equity rounds that technology companies need to expand.
A scam may start with a phone call, but the money can move through several accounts and countries before the victim realises what happened. Altair Media Europe follows the proceeds and examines where banks and authorities can still intervene.
Early pilots with Mistral helped ASML identify certain machine faults more than 70% faster while matching engineers’ accuracy. The next test for Europe’s industrial AI is commercial: can another manufacturer use the same approach on different equipment without paying for a bespoke engineering project?
Europe’s breakthrough technologies need customers prepared to use them. As the EIC’s 2027 Work Programme strengthens support for market adoption, six questions examine what turns a successful pilot into a paid deployment—and a first order into a scalable business.
Europe’s scaleup challenge extends beyond one fund. EQT, Atomico, Eurazeo, Vitruvian Partners and Northzone bring different investment capabilities. How can their capital connect with industrial customers and public institutions to help promising technologies reach commercial scale and build lasting European capacity?
GlobalFoundries is investing €1.1 billion to expand chip production in Dresden. The project strengthens Silicon Saxony’s manufacturing base—but who will use the extra capacity, what makes European production competitive, and what should Europe receive for its public support?
