En de verkopen exploderen. Vijf keer zo veel denken ze te gaan verkopen in de komende vijf jaar. Waar ze afgelopen jaar nog voor 10 miljard euro aan bommen en tanks verkochten, ziet het Duitse defensiebedrijf Rheinmetall dat in 2030 toenemen naar 50 miljard euro. En daarbij gaan ze uit van een aantal scenario's, die niet mals zijn. En die ook nog eens opgesteld zijn in samenwerking met geheime diensten. Wat die zijn en wat dat voor defensie-aandelen betekent, hoor je in deze aflevering. Verder zwaaien we alwéér een AEX-bedrijf uit. AkzoNobel heeft een fusiepartner gevonden in het Amerikaanse Axalta. Samen worden ze een verf- en coatingbedrijf van zo'n 17 miljard dollar. En op termijn moet het dan ook gedaan zijn met de notering in Amsterdam. We zoeken voor je uit of je AkzoNobel straks moet gaan missen. En je hoort over de topman van Google. Zelfs hij heeft het over een mogelijke AI-bubbel. En hij heeft een onheilspellende boodschap. Als die bubbel knapt, gaat iedereen dat voelen. Maar hij vindt al die miljardeninvesteringen dan wel weer geheel terecht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Drohnenhersteller sind im Moment ebenso en vogue wie Entwickler von Energiemanagement-Software oder Hersteller großer Batteriespeicher. „Defense Tech“ und „Energy Tech“ sind die größten Hoffnungsträger für eine Erneuerung der deutschen Industrie, für das Kreieren von Weltmarktführern in riesigen Zukunftsmärkten. Warum? Weil in diesen beiden Branchen genau jenes Ingenieurswissen gefragt ist, bei dem „Made in Germany“ immer noch Weltklasse ist. Aber wo kommt das Kapital für die bevorstehende Skalierung von Unternehmen wie Helsing, Arx Robotics oder 1,5 Grad her? Von US-VC-Investoren oder von europäischen PE-Fonds? Von großen Konzernen oder gar vom Kapitalmarkt? Welche Player die Neuerfindungswelle der deutschen Industrie in den nächsten 5 Jahren reiten werden und nach welchen Spielregeln die Deals bei Defense Tech und Energy Tech gemacht werden, das beleuchten wir in dieser Episode mit Dr. Stefan Witte, einem der führenden Dealmaker in diesen beiden Branchen.

In den kommenden Jahren wird die Bundeswehr so viel Geld in neues Material stecken wie seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr. Für neue Panzer, Schiffe und Flugzeuge sind Milliarden eingeplant. Allerdings verschieben sich hinter den Kulissen die Gewichte in der Rüstungsbranche. Eine Reihe von bayerischen Startups wie Arx Robotics, Helsing und Quantum Systems revolutioniert derzeit mit unbemannten Systemen und KI-Lösungen die Militärtechnik. Und darauf sind auch die herkömmlichen Rüstungs-Unternehmen angewiesen. Gleichzeitig setzen auch zahlreiche Zulieferer im Freistaat auf den Verteidigungssektor. Sie hoffen darauf, mit Militäraufträgen wegbrechende Umsätze im kriselnden Autogeschäft abfedern zu können.

-Coda Music used the recent backlash around Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek as a way to differentiate itself from the number one streamer, calling out Ek's controversial funding of defense technology firm Helsing earlier in the year. Coda Music announced a new feature that feels designed to answer another of the recent Spotify controversies: AI slop music flooding the platform. In response, Coda Music is launching AI identification tools with the purpose of finding and labeling songs that weren't composed by actual humans. -WhatsApp is following in the footsteps of fellow Meta-owned companies, Instagram and Facebook. Bloomberg reported that the European Commission will give WhatsApp's open channels the designation of Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act. -Threads is rolling out some new features for sharing podcasts and podcast episodes. Creators have the option to add the link to their show to their bio page; after that, their posts with show and episode links will appear with an audio preview. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: Unlocking Secrets of Kronborg: A Journey Beyond the Tour Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2025-11-10-08-38-20-da Story Transcript:Da: Regndråberne trommede let på de gamle ruder, mens klassen stod i Kronborg Slot.En: The raindrops pattered lightly on the old panes as the class stood in Kronborg Slot.Da: Det var en efterårsdag, og skyerne hang lavt over Helsingør.En: It was an autumn day, and the clouds hung low over Helsingør.Da: Mikkel, Astrid, og Freja gik sammen gennem slottets lange, kolde gange.En: Mikkel, Astrid, and Freja walked together through the castle's long, cold corridors.Da: Mikkel havde hørt om legenderne og de gamle konger, der engang havde boet her, og han ønskede at dele sin viden.En: Mikkel had heard about the legends and the old kings who once lived here, and he wanted to share his knowledge.Da: Men han var nervøs.En: But he was nervous.Da: Idet gruppen nåede indgangen til en gammel hall, lagde Mikkel mærke til en dør, de andre havde overset.En: As the group reached the entrance to an old hall, Mikkel noticed a door the others had overlooked.Da: Den så gammeldags ud og lokkede med et løfte om hemmeligheder.En: It looked old-fashioned and beckoned with a promise of secrets.Da: "Skal vi gå derind?"En: "Should we go in there?"Da: spurgte han stille, men resten af klassen havde allerede travlt med den officielle rundvisning.En: he asked quietly, but the rest of the class was already busy with the official tour.Da: Astrid skubbede blidt til ham og hviskede: "Kom nu, Mikkel.En: Astrid nudged him gently and whispered, "Come on, Mikkel.Da: Vis os, hvad der er derinde."En: Show us what's in there."Da: Freja så nysgerrigt på ham.En: Freja looked at him curiously.Da: Hendes stille opmuntring hjalp.En: Her quiet encouragement helped.Da: Han trak vejret dybt og åbnede døren, der knirkede, som om den ikke var blevet åbnet i mange år.En: He took a deep breath and opened the door, which creaked as if it hadn't been opened in many years.Da: Inde i det dunkle rum opdagede de gammelt rustningsudstyr og et stort gobelintæppe, der hængte på væggen.En: Inside the dim room, they discovered old armor and a large tapestry hanging on the wall.Da: Mikkel begyndte at fortælle om de gamle slag og historier fra krigstid, som han havde læst.En: Mikkel began to talk about the old battles and wartime stories he had read.Da: Han talte med en sikkerhed, han ikke vidste, han havde.En: He spoke with a confidence he didn't know he had.Da: Astrid lyttede opmærksomt.En: Astrid listened attentively.Da: "Det her er perfekt til min historieopgave," sagde hun begejstret.En: "This is perfect for my history assignment," she said excitedly.Da: Freja fandt en gammel medalje i hjørnet og delte sin observation stille, men med klarhed.En: Freja found an old medal in the corner and shared her observation quietly but with clarity.Da: "Måske er det en af de mistede kongemedaljer."En: "Maybe it's one of the lost royal medals."Da: Da de kom ud, stormede vinden over voldene og bragte en frisk duft af havsalt med sig.En: As they came out, the wind howled over the ramparts, bringing with it a fresh scent of sea salt.Da: Mikkel følte sig let som den løv, der blæste over slotsgården.En: Mikkel felt as light as the leaves blowing across the castle courtyard.Da: Astrid smilede taknemmeligt.En: Astrid smiled gratefully.Da: "Tak, Mikkel.En: "Thank you, Mikkel.Da: I dag lærte jeg noget nyt.En: Today I learned something new.Da: Du er ikke kun vores ven, men også vores guide."En: You're not just our friend but also our guide."Da: Freja nikkede og tilføjede: "Din fortælling gjorde oplevelsen levende.En: Freja nodded and added, "Your storytelling brought the experience to life.Da: Måske er du en historiker i dag."En: Maybe you're a historian today."Da: Mikkel strålede.En: Mikkel beamed.Da: Hans frygt var væk.En: His fear was gone.Da: Sammen havde de opdaget noget usædvanligt, og han havde fundet sin stemme.En: Together, they had discovered something extraordinary, and he had found his voice.Da: Det var ikke bare en tur rundt om Kronborg.En: It wasn't just a tour around Kronborg.Da: Det var en rejse, der bragte dem tættere sammen.En: It was a journey that brought them closer together.Da: Mikkel indså, at viden, når den blev delt, var en rigtig skat.En: Mikkel realized that knowledge, when shared, was a true treasure.

Hello, Laurence & Lindsay here. We've got a big problem, and we need your help. If you're listening to this on Spotify, we're asking you to stop, and switch to another podcast player. As I'm sure most of you know, there's plenty of evidence that Spotify is a terrible company with a long history of exploiting and underpaying artists, but that's only part of why it's so bad. It's been reported that Spotify's CEO, Daniel Ek, has recently invested millions of Euros of your subscription fees in an AI weaponry company called Helsing. This company has developed an automated target identification system, with the option to keep a human in the loop. In other words, it's machines selecting which humans to kill on the battlefield. It's also been reported Spotify donated $150,000 to the Trump campaign, and it's recently been running ICE recruitment ads. It is a powerful force for bad. So here's our problem. Almost half of our total listenership comes from Spotify, and the adverts that we run are how we make our money. If we just pulled our podcasts straight away, that would be a huge financial blow for us. So we would like to urge you to listen elsewhere, on another podcast player. Lots of people recommend one called Pocket Casts, we've also heard good things about Podcast Addict. In the last month, we've had downloads from about 50 different podcast players, so there are plenty of alternatives. We've going to take our podcasts off Spotify as soon as it becomes clear that there is a real movement to cancel Spotify subscriptions and move to other platforms, and that movement is growing. For you, thankfully, this doesn't cost anything. Podcasts are, and will always be, free to listen to on any platform. Like we said, a lot of people seem to like Pocket Casts, and as far as we know, they're not evil. There are also a ton of others to choose from - all very accessible, and all free. If you've ever enjoyed our podcasts, or you're about to discover them, thank you so much for listening. Let's try and do the right thing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Drohnen, Daten, Deutschland: KI in der Verteidigung und Optimismus für die WirtschaftIn dieser Folge von Wirtschaft mit Weisbach sprechen wir mit Florian Köhler, General Counsel beim Verteidigungs-Tech-Startup Helsing, und Marc Schattenberg, Volkswirt bei der Deutschen Bank Research.Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie moderne Verteidigungstechnologie – von autonomen Drohnen über Weltraumüberwachung bis hin zu Unterwasserrobotik – Europas Sicherheit stärken kann. Gleichzeitig analysieren wir, wie es wirtschaftlich weitergeht in Deutschland – trotz stagnierender Konjunktur.

I onsdags gjorde retten i Helsingør rockerklubben Bandidos ulovlig. Måske blev det startskuddet til en ændring for rockerklubberne i Danmark. Kender du nogle rockere, har du en holdning til rockere eller synes du bare, at det er spændende at følge med i, hvad der sker for rockerklubberne i Danmark? Rockere er i hvert fald nattens tema, så rock on og - lyt med!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bandidos MC Dissolved by Court Order in Denmark – Global Crackdown ExpandsToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, the unthinkable has happened — the Bandidos Motorcycle Club has been officially dissolved in Denmark by court order.The Helsingør District Court ruled that the club must disband after the Danish government petitioned for its dissolution under constitutional law. Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard said the group's “brutal behavior leaves bloody traces,” marking the first time in history a major outlaw motorcycle club has been outlawed through the courts.This unprecedented ruling could reshape how European nations handle outlaw motorcycle clubs — and raise serious questions about freedom of association worldwide.⚖️ We'll Discuss:How Denmark legally banned the Bandidos MCWhat this means for other major clubs like the Hells Angels and OutlawsCould other countries follow Denmark's lead?How this ruling affects the global MC community and biker rights Plus: India's Roads Turn Deadly

"Jonathan Harker reist in seiner Eigenschaft als Vampirjäger nach Transsylvanien, um dem berühmtesten Blutsauger von allen, Graf Dracula, einen Pflock durch das Herz zu jagen. Doch dieser überrumpelt Harker und macht ihn zu seinesgleichen. Wenig später trifft Dr. van Helsing ein, der sich Sorgen um den Verbleib seines Schützlinges Harkers macht. Eine Sorge, die durchaus berechtigt ist, van Helsing bleibt nur noch die Erlösung Harkers. Unterdessen ist Dracula in England angekommen."

Jeannette zu Fürstenberg gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Risikokapitalgeberinnen Deutschlands. Sie hat früh auf Start-ups wie Helsing und Mistral AI gesetzt und verantwortet das Europageschäft von General Catalyst. Sie beteiligt sich nicht an Schwarzmalerei und Pessimismus – stattdessen ist sie davon überzeugt, dass Europa alle Chancen hat.„Ich habe viel Hoffnung, dass wir das Ruder rumreißen", sagt zu Fürstenberg im Gespräch mit Michael Bröcker. Europa habe eine enorme Talentdichte, proprietäre Industriedaten und die höchste Dichte an Weltmarktführern – perfekte Voraussetzungen für die KI-Revolution. In ihrem Buch „Wie gut wir sind, zeigt sich in Krisenzeiten" beschreibt sie, wie Europa sein enormes Potenzial entfalten kann.[08:30]Die EU hat keine eigene Armee und auch keine einheitliche Verteidigungsstrategie. Das soll der neue EU-Verteidigungskommissar Andrius Kubilius ändern.„Wir brauchen 400 Mal mehr Luftverteidigungsmöglichkeiten, als wir jetzt haben", zitiert Kubilius NATO-Generalsekretär Mark Rutte. 80 Prozent der Waffen, die EU-Regierungen in den letzten Jahren gekauft haben, seien außerhalb Europas beschafft worden. Kubilius fordert ein Umdenken und sieht gerade Deutschland in der Verantwortung, ein Beispiel für europäische Kooperation zu setzen.[01:28]Hier geht es zur Anmeldung für den Space.TableTable Briefings - For better informed decisions.Sie entscheiden besser, weil Sie besser informiert sind – das ist das Ziel von Table.Briefings.

Er chikane, trusler og grove beskeder hverdagskost i jobbet som politiker? Ifølge undersøgelser fra Institut for Menneskerettigheder og Aarhus Universitet har omkring halvdelen af alle kommunalpolitikere oplevet chikane, trusler eller hærværk. Ved sidste kommunalvalg blev 45 procent af kandidaterne udsat for en eller flere former for chikane. Statsminister Mette Frederiksen har kaldt udviklingen en "trussel mod demokratiet", og regeringen vil nu give politikere en direkte hotline til politiet. P1 Debat spørger: Skal politikere have særbehandling, eller bør de som alle andre gå den almindelige vej gennem systemet? Hvem bærer ansvaret for den eskalerende grovhed - politikerne selv, medierne eller de ekstreme fløje? Er danskerne blevet grovere, eller er det bare lettere at være grov på de sociale medier? Du kan blande dig i debatten ved at ringe ind fra 12:15-13:30 på 7021 1919 eller send en sms til 1212. Gæster: Jan E.

Story of the Week (DR):War against women continues: Uber Not Responsible for Sex Assault, Jury Finds, as More Cases FollowEthan P. Schulman, the judge presiding over the California state court cases, told jurors that Uber would be responsible for the woman's harm if the company was negligent in using adequate safety measures and the negligence was a “substantial factor” in causing the harm.In its decision, the jury unanimously agreed that Uber had been negligent in its general safety practices when the incident occurred in 2016 — but that the negligence was not a substantial factor in causing the attack. The jury's foreman: “We felt that they could have done more back in the early days of Uber, rather than just focusing on growth,”Meet Lisa Monaco, the 57-year-old Microsoft executive Trump wants fired“Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged Lisa Monaco (A purported pawn of Legal Lightweight Andrew Weissmann), was a senior National Security aide under Barack Hussein Obama. Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco's having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.”Monaco helped coordinate the Justice Department's response to the Jan. 6th attacks on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters in 2021. In January 2022, Monaco publicly announced that the Justice Department was investigating the Trump fake electors plotMilitary women fear losing 'every bit of ground' as Hegseth looks backward to the 1990sDefense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he wants to review Defense Department standards that have changed since the 1990s, a time when military women saw far less support for their service and met drastically lower physical standards than today: "The 1990s test is simple. What were the military standards in 1990? And if they have changed, tell me why. Was it necessary change based on the evolving landscape of combat? Or was the change due to a softening, weakening, or gender-based pursuit of other priorities? 1990s seems to be as good a place to start as any."PGA of America CEO apologizes for Ryder Cup missteps, but group's president denies problemThe Misogynistic Abuse Towards Rory McIlroy's Wife at the Ryder Cup Is Deeper Than Golf. It shows a cultural shift, one in which men feel emboldened to attack women in public without shame or consequence. The abuse and taunts were so unrelenting that Stoll was spotted with “tears streaming down her face”PGA of America President Don Rea took a different approach on Sunday in a BBC interview where he downplayed the severity of the crowd's behavior: “Well, you have 50,000 people there that are really excited, and heck, you can go to a youth soccer game and get some people who say the wrong things,” Rea said. When asked about the abuse directed at McIlroy, he responded, “I haven't heard some of that. I'm sure it's happened … Rory understands things like that are going to happen.”Fake billionaire manbaby “retirements” continue DRSpotify CEO Daniel Ek to Step Down.

I predict Pauline Richards will be replaced by a male director, going from 33% female to 27% female in one fell swoop. Side note: Apollo's fun joke was to have a “sustainability committee” on the board they take so seriously, it's the committee with 3 women and and anti-woke anti-ESG ex-Senator Patrick Toomey

Well, is it? From defense innovation, to scaling capabilities, to budgets, the answers aren't easy. Ryan was joined by General Sir Richard Barrons of the United Kingdom and Peter Michael Nielsen of Denmark to sort through these issues. Barrons had a storied military career and most recently co-led his country's Strategic Defence Review. Nielsen is Denmark's deputy national armaments director, a role that has unique weight now as Denmark holds the E.U. presidency.    This episode was recorded live at a reception in London hosted by our friends at Helsing (https://helsing.ai).

Oliebedrijven zitten met de handen in het haar. Het lijkt maar niet beter te gaan in hun sector. De olieprijs staat ook nog eens op het laagste niveau in twee maanden tijd. TotalEnergies neemt daarom maatregelen en komt volgens de Financial Times met een besparingsplan van 7,5 miljard dollar. Groot punt: ze gaan beknibbelen op de cadeautjes voor de aandeelhouders. Het aandeleninkoopprogramma wordt teruggesnoeid. Wie volgt er met maatregelen? Gaat het cadeautjesprogramma van Shell er straks aan? Dat zoeken we deze aflevering uit. Dan hebben we ook beter nieuws. Het aantal fusies en overnames trekt eindelijk aan. Na jaren van droogte weten de beursbedrijven elkaar weer te vinden. Dit kwartaal waren al die deals onderaan de streep goed voor meer dan 1 biljoen dollar. En verder hoor je over een domper bij Spotify, een familieruzie die al 23 jaar duurt, een vrouw die vanwege het piepelen van JPMorgan zeven jaar celstraf krijgt... en je komt erachter hoe we Bassie en Adriaan weer eens in de aflevering hebben weten te fietsen.

Many of New Zealand's biggest musicians are boycotting Spotify and ditching the platform amid accusations of exploitation. Tiki Taane and The Bats are among the big names getting behind Boycott Spotify NZ and other Kiwi bands like Carb on Carb, Synthetic Children and Recitals have signed the statement calling for better treatment. Taane has cited greed, corruption and investment in European defence technology company Helsing as some of the key reasons why he's walking away. "I love music, I love creating music, but I also have to take a stand against corruption, against greed, against war, against murder - the easiest thing for me to do to help support that is to take my music off the platform and cancel my subscription."

Welcome back to another episode of Upside at the EUVC Podcast, where Dan Bowyer, Mads Jensen of SuperSeed, Andrew J Scott of 7percent Ventures, and Lomax unpack the forces shaping European venture capital.This week, veteran journalist Mike Butcher (ex-TechCrunch Europe, The Europas, TechFugees) joins the pod. From the creator economy eating media brands, to Europe's fragmented ecosystem and the capital gap that just won't die, we dive into EU-Inc, Draghi's unfulfilled reforms, ASML's surprise bet on Mistral, Europe's defense awakening, Klarna's IPO, and quantum's hot streak.Here's what's covered:00:01 – Mike's ResetTechCrunch Europe closes; Mike reflects on redundancy, summer off, dabbling in social and video.03:00 – Media Evolution & Creator EconomyFrom '90s trade mags → TechCrunch → The Europas & TechFugees. Blogs as early social media; today's creators (MrBeast, Bari Weiss, Cleo Abram) echo that era. Bloomberg pushes reporters front and center as media becomes personality-driven.06:45 – Europe's Ecosystem & Debate CultureEurope isn't Silicon Valley's 101 highway — it's dozens of fragmented hubs. Conferences like Slush, Web Summit, VivaTech anchor the scene, but the missing ingredient is debate. US VCs spar on stage then grab a beer; Europe is still too polite.12:00 – All-In Summit DebriefMads' takeaways from LA: Musk on robotics (the “hand” bottleneck), Demis Hassabis on AGI (5–10 yrs away), Eric Schmidt on US–China AI race, Alex Karp on Europe's regulatory failures. The Valley vibe captured, but it's only one voice.17:00 – EU-Inc & Draghi ReportDraghi's 383 recommendations, just 11% implemented. €16T in pensions sit mostly in bonds; only 0.02–0.03% flows into VC (vs 1–2% in the US). Permitting bottlenecks: 44 months for energy approvals. Panel calls for a Brussels “crack unit,” employee stock option reform, and fixing skilled migration.35:00 – Deal of the Week: ASML × MistralASML leads a €2B round in Mistral at €11B valuation. Strategic and cultural fit (Netherlands ↔ Paris) mattered more than sovereignty. Mads: 14× revenue is a bargain vs US peers. Andrew: proof Europe's VCs are too small — corporates must fill the gap. Lomax: ASML knows it's a one-trick pony with 90% lithography share; diversifying into AI hedges risk.49:00 – Defense & Industrial BaseRussian drones hit Poland, NATO urgency spikes. UK pledges defense spend to 2.5% GDP by 2027, but procurement bottlenecks persist. Poland cuts red tape under fire; UK moves at peacetime pace. Andrew: real deterrence is industrial capacity. Mike: primes must be forced to buy from startups; dual-use innovators like Helsing show the way.59:00 – Klarna IPO & the Klarna MafiaKlarna IPOs at $15B (down from $46B peak). Oversubscribed; Sequoia nets ~$3.5B; Atomico 12M → 150M. A new “Klarna Mafia” of angels and operators will recycle liquidity back into Europe's ecosystem.01:03:00 – Quantum's Hot StreakPsiQuantum ($7B, Bristol roots), Quantinuum ($10B, Cambridge), IQM (Finland unicorn), Oxford Ionics' $1B exit. Europe has parity in talent but lacks growth capital. Lomax: “Quantum is hot, but a winter will come.” Andrew: Europe can win here — if the money shows up.01:05:00 – Wrap-upThe pod ends on optimism: Europe may not own AGI, but in quantum it has a fair fight.

I juli mistede en ung mand livet, da et tog ramte hans varevogn. To uger senere kolliderede et lyntog med en gylletransport, og en kvinde døde. Og igen tirsdag bragede endnu et tog ind i en traktor ved Henne i Sydvestjylland. Fælles for ulykkerne er, at de alle skete ved jernbaneoverkørsler uden bomme til at standse trafikanterne. Lokomotivfører Kent Larsen Jensen fortæller, hvordan det er at sidde forrest i toget med den konstante frygt: At nogen overser eller misser advarslen og krydser sporet, mens toget kommer kørende. Vært: Anna Ingrisch. Program publiceret i DR Lyd d. 1. september 2025. RETTELSE: "I en tidligere udgave af dette afsnit fremgik det, at et passagertog på Lille Nord-lokalbanen mellem Hillerød og Helsingør havde været involveret i en dødsulykke i forbindelse med en kollision mellem et passagertog og en varevogn ved en bomfri jernbaneovergang. Det er imidlertid ikke korrekt, og fejlen er nu rettet".

Jesse Beaman, an ambient composer based in Mexico City, joins a growing number of artists who are no longer making their music available on Spotify. He cites the platform’s requirement for musicians to have 1,000 yearly streams to receive royalties, as well as CEO Daniel Ek’s investments in Helsing, a company that makes AI-powered defense weaponry. While his platform may not be as big as other Spotify protestors like Deerhoof, Beaman’s career is marked with tours across four continents, video production, and collaborations with members of Interpol and M83. These connections have proven vital for his success. KEXP’s Roddy Nikpour talks with Beaman about his complicated Latinx identity, his prolific network, and his stance against Spotify. “Spotify is killing people’s attention span,” Beaman says in the interview. “Before you can even get connected to a certain artist, they’re trying to sell you on another artist.” When it comes to distributing his music, Beaman is turning to Bandcamp and physical media like vinyl. No matter how you listen, he hopes fans will practice intentional listening: “If you can give music the focus it deserves, I’ll be happy.” Support the show: kexp.org/deeperSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You might be forgiven for thinking Europe had just two big drone makers — Germany's Helsing and Quantum Systems — given how many headlines both attract.But there's a third defence tech unicorn on the continent: Lisbon-based surveillance drones maker Tekever.Its drones are used all over the world — by the European Maritime Safety Agency to survey the coastline around Europe and by the UK Home Office to keep an eye on the English Channel, by the Spanish police and Brazilian Navy and — unsurprisingly — in Ukraine.Tekever was founded way back in 2001 and bootstrapped for its first 21 years, but in May this year raised €70m in a round led by Baillie Gifford and the Nato Innovation Fund. It also announced plans to invest £400m to build drones in the UK alongside the country's Royal Air Force — and create thousands of jobs.On this episode of the Sifted Podcast, host Amy Lewin and senior reporter Freya Pratty discuss why Tekever's investors are so bullish on the company, how it compares to competitors and what else is on its roadmap.

Start-ups in Deutschland kämpfen – doch zwei Branchen schwimmen plötzlich im Geld. Warum ausgerechnet Verteidigung und Software boomen und was das für den Rest der Szene bedeutet? „Im ersten Halbjahr 2025 flossen 4,6 Milliarden Euro in die deutsche Start-up-Szene. Das ist zwar ungefähr so viel wie ein Jahr zuvor, aber es wurden nur noch halb so viele Unternehmen finanziert. Vor allem Start-ups aus der Rüstungsbranche erleben einen Boom", sagt Manuel Koch. Der Chefredakteur von Inside Wirtschaft weiter: „Helsing konnte im Juni alleine 600 Millionen Euro einsammeln. Das war die größte Finanzierungsrunde im ersten Halbjahr. Verteidigung ist eben auch gesellschaftlich akzeptiert und kein Tabu-Thema mehr." Wer sind die Verlierer? Alle Details im Interview von Finanzjournalistin Jessica Schwarzer an der Frankfurter Börse und auf https://inside-wirtschaft.de

July is vacation month in Denmark, and it's ironic that many Danes go elsewhere on vacation at just this time of year, when you have the best chance of good weather in Denmark. And I do mean chance – there is never any guarantee. Some Danes go abroad, driving vacations to Southern Europe are popular. There's a well-known cycle in which the summer weather is good one year, so everyone plans a vacation in Denmark the following year, and then the weather is awful, so everyone plans a foreign vacation the next year, and then the weather is good, and so on. You can surf in Denmark Staying in Denmark, even if you don't own one of the famous Danish summer houses, can be a great choice. There's a surprising amount of nature to experience in this small, flat, country that isn't as densely populated as the UK, or the Netherlands, or even Germany. You can surf in Denmark, along the windy west coast, and when you're done explore the ever changing sand dunes. Maybe visit the little lighthouse that is slowly being swallowed up by the sand. Hike through ancient forests in Denmark In Denmark you can hike through ancient forests, and even sleep there in some of the public forest shelters. Most of the forest shelters are big wooden boxes with one side entirely open, but with a roof to protect you from the rain. You can walk through beautiful meadows filled with wildflowers and butterflies. Watch whales along the coastline. Tramp through marshes and see red foxes and white-tailed eagles. Visit open grasslands with a few wild horses. Chalk cliffs and fossil hunting in Denmark You can enjoy almost any type of Nordic landscape except mountains, because Denmark doesn't really have any. It's tallest peak, Møllehøj, is 1/3 the height of the Empire State Building. But if you insist on rocky peaks, you can visit some lovely chalk cliffs in Denmark and try fossil hunting in the sand. And what ties them all together is the Marguerite Route, or Daisy Route, that runs all over Denmark. The Daisy Route isn't a straight line from one place to another, like Route 66 in the US or the Trans-Siberian express. It's 4200 kilometers, or 2600 miles, that looks like a plate of spaghetti, with lots of curves and twists. It takes you on back roads where you can see the quiet side of Denmark. It never doubles back on itself and, with one significant exception – the Big Belt Bridge between Zealand and Fyn – it involves no highways. Margueritruten Route or the Daisy Route The Daisy Route is named after the former queen, Margrethe, who inaugurated it on her 50th birthday in 1991. Her nickname is Daisy. And the signs you will follow on the Daisy Route are brown squares with white daisies. The Daisy Route is a great way to enjoy Danish nature, although, unfortunately, it works best with a car. Bikes in the city, cars in the countryside One of Denmark's little secrets is that despite all the tourism pictures of healthy Danes riding bicycles, bicycle infrastructure is best in the big cities. Many roads in the countryside don't have a bike lane, and you probably don't want to be on a lonely country road on your bike with a cement mixer truck behind you. Outside of those big cities, most Danes do own cars – and there are more cars in Denmark every year, even though they're very expensive and parking enforcement is draconian. From the window of my home in Copenhagen, I watch cars being hit with parking fines every single weekday. Denmark's founding document, the Jelling Stone What about mass transit? Can you enjoy the Daisy Route using trains and buses? You can indeed, if you want to see some of the major cultural spots on the route. For example, the Jelling Stone, the giant carved stone that is Denmark's founding document, kind of its Magna Carta or Declaration of Independence. Put up by King Harold Bluetooth in the year 965, it marks Denmark's transition to the centralized monarchy it still has today. And yes, Bluetooth on your phone is named after him. The Jelling Stone is very easy to reach by train. Finding Fossils on Møns Klimt Or Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, also known as Elsinore in Shakespeare's play Hamlet. You can easily take public transport to the castle, where Hamlet lived in the play, and the guard Marcellus said “Something is Rotten in Denmark.” Although Shakespeare apparently never visited the castle himself, you can. It's a simple trip with train, bus, or even ferry from Sweden. But the some of the best stops on the Daisy Route in Denmark don't work well with mass transit. For example, Møns Klimt is a dramatic white chalk cliff on an island in southeast Denmark. You can walk along the beach finding prehistoric fossils during the day or go stargazing at night, because there's very little light pollution. Summer vacation chill in Denmark To get to Møns Klimt from my home in Copenhagen is a 90 minute car trip…or a 4-hour odyssey involving three trains, two buses, and a long walk. Or a 7-hour bike trip. It can be done without a car, but it may take away some of your vacation chill. And vacation chill is what July in Denmark is all about. Everything closes down Many companies in Denmark shut down for the last two weeks of July and sometimes the first week of August, restaurants and shops are closed, many church services are suspended. Even my local ice cream shop in Copenhagen closes down, although I'm sure the ones in tourist locations are open and very busy. You may get to enjoy this in glorious summer sunshine, and on a sunny day, there is no country as pretty as Denmark. Or you could experience it in cold, pelting rain – possibly on the same day. Danish summer weather has no guarantees.
