Last week, I met with CEOs of the world’s top three AI companies – OpenAI, DeepMind and Anthropic – to discuss how we ensure this new and exciting technology can continue to be developed in a safe and secure way. That’s why I’m focused on working with businesses to build the best possible environment for enterprise – here in the UK.

I know from my family and business background that people don’t set up shop, expand their business or make an investment on a whim - they do it because they expect to see returns. Now let's see how this turns into concrete actions!

Europe needs a bit more guts (I don’t remember who said that, but the lack of ambition in Europe was an issue raised by several people) Defense use to be classified with porn and tobacco industries, and since the war started in Ukraine it got closer to ESG David van Weel Almost 100% of large companies have corporate venturing initiative in deep tech in 2023, but they are not all equally efficient: to get the same number of opportunities with startups, the venture client model is 5x cheaper and 3x faster than corporate incubators Josemaria Siota It was not just a fancy diner with amazing people, but also hands-on workshops to come-up with actionable recommendations on how to foster more exits to drive the whole VC value chain, how to increase demand for deep tech startups, etc.Ī few interesting insight as well from the conferences: In Stockholm for the Conference on deep tech entrepreneurship organized by the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union. Thank you Lars Frølund for putting it so clearly! 'Europe should stop being an accelerator for the rest of the world, and create the conditions (market, growth capital) for startups to scale locally'
