Deep Tech Expert Forum

Europe Invents. Others Scale.

Europe’s Innovation Engine Is Strong & Not Scaling Fast Enough.

Across AI, robotics, defense, web3, and other frontier domains, Europe, especially Switzerland continues to produce world-class research and cutting-edge startups. But when it comes to scaling those breakthroughs into global businesses, we’re still falling behind.

Strong talent, public support, and a growing investor base, founders still describe building in Europe as “hard mode.” The hurdles are real: fragmented ecosystems, cautious capital, slow-moving corporates, regulatory friction, and a risk-averse mindset.

We’re not short on innovation—we’re short on scale.
And it’s time to talk about it.
