Show Me the Money: Investors' Funding Insights
Janet Thier and Anke Huiskes discuss where early-stage AI and applied deep tech funding is going, using Crunchbase data and NP Hard Ventures’ portfolio experience. Huiskes explains how her fund evaluates technical founders, avoids long-horizon pure deep tech, and uses co-investment vehicles to protect ownership as promising companies raise larger rounds.
Can Europe and the Middle East Build Their Own AI Stack?
Janae Teer moderates a discussion on whether Europe and the UAE can build sovereign AI stacks across energy, chips, infrastructure, models, and applications. Fabrizio del Maffeo argues Europe must create more AI value rather than just buy services, while Mehdi Gassassi emphasizes selective sovereignty, using strengths like UAE compute, capital, and government adoption mandates.
