AskDiana is not simply another AI model, assistant or agent. This Executive Dialogue explores the organisation behind the platform—and its ambition to create a governed foundation through which organisations can control knowledge, reasoning, permissions and technological choice.
NVIDIA wants to turn AI compute into an investable infrastructure asset. If institutional capital learns how to finance AI factories at scale, technological power may increasingly depend not only on who builds the best systems, but who can finance them.
ICEYE’s €1 billion funding round signals a new phase in Europe’s industrial ambitions. Europe is learning to finance strategic companies at scale. The next test is whether its investors and stock exchanges are ready to grow with them.
Deutsche Börse is far more than a place where securities are traded. As trading, clearing, settlement, custody, data and technology converge, a deeper question emerges: when does a commercial exchange become infrastructure that Europe’s financial system depends upon?
Euronext has connected Europe’s exchanges across borders. Now comes the harder challenge: can European capital markets help turn the continent’s vast savings into the long-term investment needed for technology, energy, defence and industrial renewal?
Every digital payment depends on far more than a card or smartphone. Behind each transaction lies an invisible network of payment rails, banks and public institutions that increasingly forms part of Europe’s strategic infrastructure and its broader economic resilience.
Europe has built strong digital rights, but technology is evolving faster than the institutions designed to protect them. As AI, biometrics and platforms reshape power, the challenge is ensuring democratic protection can keep pace.
Modern wars are no longer sustained by military force alone. Behind every battlefield lies an industrial ecosystem of factories, energy, raw materials, semiconductors and skilled labour. The Industrial War explores why production capacity has become a defining element of strategic resilience.
Europe excels at governing individual problems, from nitrogen emissions to artificial intelligence. But as technology connects agriculture, energy, industry and infrastructure, a larger question emerges: can Europe move beyond managing the parts and develop a vision for the whole?
Leiden University demonstrates that the future of Europe depends not only on applying knowledge, but on continually creating it. As artificial intelligence transforms access to information, the production of reliable new knowledge may become one of Europe’s most strategic capabilities.
