Is Europe an AI underdog or an "Invisible Giant"? 🇪🇺

Next week, @dealroomco and @Prosusgroup release the 2026 State of AI in Europe - The Invisible Giant report.

We’re hitting the road to share the data and answer the big questions:

⚡️ Is the window still open for Europe to compete?
⚡️ Do we have the urgency and speed to match our talent?
⚡️ What’s next for world models and vertical AI?
💰 How much capital is needed to win globally?

Join us in person to get the fresh data from Dealroom first - RSVP and Limited seats!
