Why Nexus Luxembourg has become a fixture in Europe’s AI calendar

On 10–11 June, the Grand Duchy hosts the third edition of its flagship tech summit, weeks before the EU AI Act’s most consequential provisions enter into force. Here is what the event has become, and why it matters this year in particular. Luxembourg, with a population smaller than Manchester’s and an outsized role in European […]

Google offers EU concessions on news-search ranking to head off a fresh DMA fine

The proposals filed in Brussels aim to settle the European Commission’s investigation into whether Google has been demoting publishers’ pages with third-party advertising content. Failure to settle could expose Alphabet to penalties up to 10 per cent of global revenue. Google has filed a remedies offer with the European Commission proposing changes to how it […]

Chinese chamber of commerce puts a $432bn price tag on the EU’s cybersecurity overhaul

A KPMG-conducted study commissioned by the CCCEU estimates that phasing Chinese suppliers out of 18 critical EU sectors between 2026 and 2030 would cost €367.8bn. Reuters’ headline rounds that down. The actual figure is materially higher. China’s chamber of commerce in the EU has put a number on the cost of the European Commission’s plan […]

Google’s top differential-privacy scientist tells the EU its data-sharing plan can be reversed in two hours

Sergei Vassilvitskii, distinguished scientist at Google since 2012, has written to Brussels warning that the Commission’s proposed anonymisation scheme for forced search-data sharing is, by his red team’s own demonstration, breakable in 120 minutes. The decision deadline is 27 July. There is a familiar genre of corporate complaint in EU regulatory proceedings: a US technology […]

Davis raises $5.5m pre-seed to compress real-estate development from months to days

The Paris-based AI-native real-estate company, founded by Entrepreneurs First alumni Mehdi Rais and Amine Chraibi, has Heartcore and Balderton co-leading the round, an unusual cap-table for a pre-seed. The technical pitch is more interesting than the headline. There is a particular shape of European AI seed round that has, in 2026, become harder to land […]

Denmark built Europe’s cleanest grid. AI data centres are overloading it.

  Denmark generates more than 80 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources. Its wind farms, both onshore and offshore, have made the country a global model for clean energy transition. Its grid operator, Energinet, has spent decades building the infrastructure to support a decarbonised power system. In March, Energinet paused all new grid […]

Brussels reissues its Huawei warning, six years on, and prepares to make it stick

The European Commission has formally recommended that member states keep Huawei and ZTE out of their connectivity infrastructure. The same restrictions are now moving toward becoming legally binding. China has already threatened to retaliate. When the European Commission first asked its member states to keep Huawei and ZTE out of their 5G networks, in the […]

Europe’s finance chiefs want Mythos access to defend their banks. Washington has so far said no.

An Anthropic AI model that can find zero-days in every major operating system has become a geopolitical and prudential question. The Eurogroup met in Brussels on Monday with no answer in hand. Brussels on a Monday morning in early May is not, by tradition, the place where the world’s most powerful AI model gets discussed. […]

The West keeps asking how much China subsidises its industries. That is the wrong question.

The Western debate about China’s industrial rise keeps circling the same question: how much of it is subsidised? The European Commission’s anti-subsidy investigations into Chinese electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines have produced tariff schedules that treat government funding as the primary explanation for Chinese competitiveness. The US Treasury and Commerce departments have imposed […]

The next satisfactory standard for data governance may not come from Brussels. It may come from Beijing.

The European Union treats data as a privacy right. The United States treats it as a corporate asset. China treats it as a factor of production, a national economic resource on par with land, labour, capital, and technology. That distinction, which sounds like an abstraction, is producing a data governance framework that is structurally different […]
