Trump’s Tech Tariffs Spark Europe's AI & Defense Glow-Up
In a twist nobody asked for but everyone’s now kinda hyped about, Trump’s second term tariffs have somehow turbocharged Europe's tech ecosystem. According to VC Flavia Levi from Join Capital, this "shift in deployment targets" means euros are now flowing into defense startups like Helsing and Quantum-Systems. Meanwhile, Paris’s AI darling Mistral teamed up with Nvidia to pursue 'AI sovereignty,' proving Europe is ready to "Make Europe's tech ecosystem great again"—even if the phrase might not fit on a Trump badge. Brexit who? Europe's playing 4D chess on the tech board with a side of climate hustle.
