"As an American born and raised in New York City, I've seen the power of US entrepreneurialism to change the world. The ambition, ingenuity, and relentless drive that have powered the country's economy for generations have also been a global force for prosperity, stability, and innovation. Yet now the US is retreating into an aggressive and unpredictable form of unilateral bullying. I am deeply concerned - not just for America, but for the world."
"I've settled with my family in the Netherlands, where I work as CEO of cultivated leather startup Qorium. I've been impressed by the world-class infrastructure and public services, but I've also encountered frustrations for which Europe is famous: slow decision-making, risk aversion, and onerous regulation. Yet over time, I've come to see these as features to be worked with rather than bugs to be squashed."
US entrepreneurialism historically propelled global prosperity, stability, and innovation, but the United States is now retreating into aggressive and unpredictable unilateral bullying that raises deep concern internationally. European life combines world-class infrastructure and public services with slow decision-making, risk aversion, and onerous regulation. Those traits function as features that prioritize durability, collaboration, predictability, logic, and long-term thinking over speed, spectacle, and zero-sum politics. Europe can leverage this orientation to gain technological leadership through regulatory change. Success depends on cultural adaptation. The AI Act establishes a harmonised framework with clear risk categories and compliance pathways, demanding responsibility while offering regulatory certainty.
