    Despite wide­spread adop­tion of gen­er­a­tive A.I., most com­pa­nies report lit­tle finan­cial impact, echo­ing the “pro­duc­tiv­i­ty para­dox” seen dur­ing the PC boom. While tech giants like Microsoft and Nvidia ben­e­fit, many busi­ness­es strug­gle with failed pilot projects due to tech­ni­cal and human chal­lenges. Some firms, like JPMor­gan and USAA, show mod­est gains, but broad­er trans­for­ma­tion remains…

    The Euro­pean Patent Office’s Patent Index 2024 high­lights robust inno­va­tion in Europe, with patent fil­ings main­tain­ing high lev­els despite glob­al uncer­tain­ties. Euro­pean com­pa­nies and inven­tors increased their appli­ca­tions by 0.3%, dri­ven by advance­ments in green tech­nolo­gies, AI, and semi­con­duc­tors. Com­put­er tech­nol­o­gy led with the most appli­ca­tions, while bat­tery inno­va­tion saw sig­nif­i­cant growth. The report under­scores…

    Fraun­hofer FFB and the Uni­ver­si­ty of Mün­ster have ana­lyzed China’s dom­i­nance in the bat­tery sup­ply chain in a study. Chi­na con­trols almost the entire val­ue chain of lithi­um-ion bat­ter­ies, from raw mate­r­i­al extrac­tion to pro­duc­tion. Europe is almost entire­ly depen­dent on imports, which makes it vul­ner­a­ble to geopo­lit­i­cal ten­sions. Raw mate­ri­als such as lithi­um, cobalt and…

    Chi­na is mak­ing rapid progress in dis­rup­tive tech­nolo­gies, such as humanoid robots, brain-com­put­er inter­faces, quan­tum com­put­ers, and hyper­son­ic air­craft, blur­ring the bound­aries between sci­ence fic­tion and real­i­ty. These inno­va­tions are cen­tral to Beijing’s strat­e­gy for dom­i­nance in emerg­ing mar­kets, aim­ing to out­pace West­ern nations like the U.S. Pres­i­dent Xi Jin­ping empha­sizes fos­ter­ing orig­i­nal, ground­break­ing advance­ments…

    Euro­pean invest­ments in Dutch start-ups surged in 2024, with 3.1 bil­lion euros in ven­ture cap­i­tal despite broad­er Euro­pean down­turns. How­ev­er, the scale-up ratio remains low, and domes­tic invest­ments fell sharply. Notable high­lights include strong deeptech growth, but con­cerns about stag­na­tion and com­pet­i­tive abil­i­ty per­sist. The ecosystem’s growth chal­lenges require imme­di­ate atten­tion.
