Robotics funding, AI-defense alliances, EU regulation shifts, a major social media exit — and a special deep dive into General Intuition, Europe’s most ambitious frontier-AI lab.

In this week’s EuroTech episode, we break down the five biggest stories shaping Europe’s tech and investment landscape:

  • Flexion raises $50M to build the AI “brain” for humanoid robots — and how it compares to another rising star, General Intuition
  • Finland’s NestAI emerges from stealth with a €100M raise and strategic partnership with Nokia
  • EU regulators spark controversy by proposing delays to the AI Act and loosening data privacy rules
  • SIX Group outlines a pan-European SME stock market and recalibrates after Worldline’s collapse
  • BeReal acquired for €500M as Voodoo expands from gaming to social networks
  • UK announces new AI Growth Zones and research investments to position itself as Europe’s AI hub

Plus: a 5-minute deep dive into General Intuition, the Geneva–New York AI lab using video games to train spatially intelligent agents — and why investors believe it could become “the OpenAI of world models.”

Whether you're a founder, investor, policymaker or just curious about the future of European tech, this episode connects the dots between innovation, strategy, and geopolitics across the continent.
