Europe

We live in a changed world, one where building companies and ecosystems on European soil has become genuinely strategic. This panel makes the case that Europe is the place to build, and explores what it takes for European companies to win, how to commercialize the research Europe genuinely excels at, and how to build the vertical ecosystems, including European video, that let us know each other from the inside.
