Donald Trump's second term has encouraged Europe to increase investments in artificial intelligence, defense, and climate technology, promoting a pursuit of tech sovereignty. European startups, like Mistral, are focusing on developing their own AI infrastructure. The transition in funding patterns is evident, with significant amounts being allocated towards strengthening critical technologies. Investors have notably backed European defense startups, which raised $2.4 billion the previous year and $2.11 billion in the current year. The changing US economic policies have further motivated Europe’s drive towards military and economic independence.
"Make Europe's tech ecosystem great again" might not fit on a Trump campaign badge, but it's something he might unintentionally be delivering on.
Now, we're talking about how money should be going into strengthening the critical technologies of Europe.”
The Trump administration's unpredictable relationships with Ukraine and NATO have been "a further wake-up call for the European continent to seek military and economic independence."
