Back on here after a long break. The last 16 months have been heads-down building @PlugandPlayTC across EMEA — 12 countries, 68 investments, partnerships with governments from Saudi Arabia to Lithuania. Turns out you can't build an innovation ecosystem across three continents and tweet at the same time. I'm back. Expect: EMEA startups, AI, corporate innovation, government partnerships, and the occasional Barca take.

The Germany Summit room. Industrial operators and AI founders debating integration timelines in the same session. Cross-border and cross-stack. This is the EMEA advantage when it actually shows up. Not the press-release version. cc @SaeedAmidi #EMEA #AI

Cyprus. First @PlugandPlayTC accelerator in the Eastern Mediterranean, co-funded by the Cyprus Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy and the Research & Innovation Foundation. When a government co-signs the accelerator, the startup lane stops being speculative. @SaeedAmidi prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

@TheEconomist the discipline isn't avoiding AI. it's deciding which problems you still want to do the hard thinking on yourself. outsource everything and you lose the judgment that made the tool useful in the first place.

Pattern I keep seeing in founder decks: AI-native vertical OS replacing decade-old dashboards. Not augmenting. Replacing. Deviceflow just did it for medical devices. Logistics, pharma, utilities next. The winners won't all be in the Bay Area — regulated industry depth is Europe's edge.

AI just crossed half of European venture funding. First time ever. Deal flow, talent, research. All there. The one piece still sourced mostly from outside Europe is growth-stage capital. That's the part the AI infrastructure strategy hasn't closed yet.

@Siftedeu Insurtech's quiet moment. Post-2021 corrections shook out the generic wrappers and left the ones actually fixing underwriting and claims workflows. Narrower surface, deeper moats.

@WSJ London keeps absorbing AI commercial HQs that nobody predicted five years ago. Talent depth and enterprise proximity are real. Question now is which US lab goes next.

@PlugandPlayTC Medical device workflow fragmentation is one of those under-appreciated bottlenecks. The market isn't asking for another point tool — it needs a unified layer. Good call.

@tech_eu ALE is one of those boring-sounding processes that quietly becomes foundational. European fabs need differentiated tooling IP to stay relevant — this is that layer.

AI agent adoption is at 97%. ROI is at 23%. That 74-point gap isn't a technology problem. It's an organizational architecture problem. And it's the biggest opportunity in enterprise software right now.

$400B in AI infrastructure spend. Under $100B in enterprise AI revenue. Everyone calls that a bubble. It's a measurement problem. The companies generating real returns aren't building foundation models. They're running predictive maintenance, process optimization, supply chain intelligence. Boring. Measurable. The bubble risk isn't in AI. It's in the gap between spending and knowing what to measure.

European deep tech crossed $690 billion in value. Record share of total VC. And still, 70% of late-stage capital comes from outside Europe. The ecosystem grew up. The funding infrastructure didn't.

Most accelerator programs copy a playbook. Cyprus built around its own. @PlugandPlayTC launched its first program in Limassol — co-funded by the Republic of Cyprus. Verticals: fintech, regtech, gaming, shipping tech. Shipping is the tell. Cyprus runs one of the largest merchant registries on earth. That's not aspiration. That's structural demand already in the ground. When the geography matches the program, different founders show up.

Capital isn't the binding constraint for European founders anymore. 51% of the fastest-growing are weighing where to scale. The question shifts from how to fund them to how to keep them building here.

@business the talent flow tells you more than the financials. when chinese OEMs poach from porsche and audi, they are not just buying skills. they are buying the european buyer's permission to be considered a luxury brand.

@tech_eu ukraine's tech ecosystem is one of the most underrated stories in european innovation. defense pressure forces an operator discipline that takes other ecosystems years to build.
