AI is accelerating. But Europe’s race to lead looks different. Others compete on raw scale – more data centres, more compute, more energy. Europe’s edge is industrial: factories, supply chains, and critical infrastructure where AI drives real gains in productivity, efficiency and climate-aligned growth. How can Europe turn its industrial base into a true platform for AI leadership and move fast enough to capture the advantage? That is the question and the opportunity. Ambition alone won’t get Europe from AI taker to AI maker. Building a homegrown edge will require coordinated R&D, smart regulation, targeted funding, and the talent to deploy solutions at scale. How do we unlock these levers to make industrial efficiency the engine of Europe’s sustainable digital future?
