Send us a textReputation travels faster than personal branding when the right people vouch for you. That idea sits at the core of our conversation with Evolve Commerce Club founder Carlos Monteiro, who traces a path from helping Danish companies enter Brazil to building an invite-only network of senior leaders across 48 markets. We dig into how perspective, generosity, and consistent follow-through transform one-off intros into compounding trust—and why that matters most for executives navigating career transitions.We unpack the early stumbles and the breakthrough: focusing on seasoned professionals who once represented a company but now need to represent themselves. Carlos explains how Evolve's paid club delivers tangible value with curated matchmaking, private expert sessions, and monthly off-the-record circles designed for honest asks, not pitches. As member outcomes grew, companies began commissioning targeted dinners and private workshops, giving the community a clear monetization path without sacrificing signal quality.We also get practical about tools and tactics. Despite doubts in parts of Europe, WhatsApp won because it's where people already are, driving daily engagement with minimal friction. Looking ahead, Evolve is investing in an AI agent to summarize profiles, automate thoughtful check-ins, and surface timely connections as careers evolve—augmenting human judgment rather than replacing it. Along the way, members are self-organizing meetups from Lisbon to Dubai, proving the culture is strong enough to scale.If you're a senior leader in transition or a connector at heart, you'll find a playbook for building trust-first networks: vet carefully, reward generosity, meet members where they are, and let results speak louder than branding. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who's rethinking their network strategy, and leave a review to tell us what part of the conversation you want us to go deeper on next.This episode was recorded in the official podcast booth at Web Summit (Lisbon) on November 12, 2025.

When these three pillars align, outcomes improve and trust increases across populations.Telehealth is not a compromise; it's often the safest, most accessible option. For many people, digital care is the only environment where they feel safe, respected, and willing to seek support.AI can either transform healthcare or exacerbate and dangerously amplify inequality. Without careful oversight and representative data, large language models can reinforce harmful misinformation.Affirming care is a clinical and financial necessity, not a niche service. Avoiding preventive care can lead to dangerous delays and significantly higher system costs.Demographic shifts make inclusive care a strategic imperative. With a quarter of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQIA+, employers and payers who invest early will capture long-term loyalty and economic value.Resources:Connect with and follow Liana Guzmán on LinkedIn.Follow FOLX Health on LinkedIn and Instagram, and visit their website.

O futuro da agricultura está cada vez mais ligado às novas tecnologias. Em Angola, um dos exemplos é dado pela Kilunga. A Agritech angolana utiliza imagens de satélite e modelos de IA para monitorizar a saúde das culturas em tempo real e combina isso com ferramentas integradas de gestão agrícola, financeira e operacional que permitem a tomada de decisões agrícolas sustentáveis e baseadas em dados. A empresa de tecnologia agricola ajuda os agricultores a tomarem decisões e a melhorarem a produtividade  de forma sustentável. O fundador e CEO da Startup, João N'vula, esteve recentemente em Portugal, na Websummit, a RFI aproveitou a ocasião para descobrir mais sobre o funcionamento de uma empresa como a Kilunga. Nós usamos satélites europeus para ajudar fazendeiros em Angola e agora estamos a expandir para a África, no geral, com a nossa parceria que temos com o Corredor do Lubito. O Corredor do Lobito é um dos corredores logísticos mais importantes de África neste momento. Está a expandir essa importância a nível mundial, inclusive a China, os Estados Unidos e os Emirados também estão com investimento pesado no Corredor do Lobito. E nós estamos lá para digitalizar as fazendas ao longo daquele corredor e expandir as nossas operações lá. O que é que um agricultor que adquira os vossos serviços vai poder ter? O agricultor que adquira os nossos serviços vai poder ter o controle da sua própria fazenda. Isso a nível espacial, a nível financeiro e não vai precisar perder muito tempo naquilo que é a gestão da própria actividade, porque terá tudo num único lugar, tanto a gestão financeira, a gestão de equipa, a gestão de tarefas, o cálculo automático dos custos e consegue ter toda aquela análise, todos aqueles indicadores financeiros que vão lhe ajudar a entender a saúde técnica e também, realmente, financeira da própria fazenda. Então, é isso que nós propomos a ele, rapidez na tomada de decisão e praticidade na visualização dos dados. Quem está no terreno, quem vai fazer o plantio ou a colheita, qual é o tipo de informação que pode recolher? Se vai fazer o plantio, ele vai precisar de dados climáticos. Esses dados climáticos vão-lhe dar quando é que vai chover e fazer o melhor planeamento. Para fazer o melhor planeamento, ele vai precisar cadastrar o talhão, na plataforma ele delimita o talhão. É como se ele estivesse fisicamente a arar a terra, fazer o tratamento e plantar as sementes. Ele faz o registo online, delimita a terra e dá o nome ao talhão, a geo-referência do talhão e as descrições do que vai ser feito aqui no talhão. Depois, vai para a parte do plantio, que está também na plataforma, e aí consegue escolher o talhão, escolher os insumos que vão estar no talhão, que vão estar naquele talhão, e também a data em que o talhão vai ser usado para o plantio. Aí ele consegue automaticamente, com base nesses dados, saber quanto é que ele vai gastar, e por aí já sabe quanto ele vai vender cada produto de maneira a ter o devido rendimento. Há doenças, há pragas, há teor de humidade no solo, … . Em que é que a vossa aplicação pode ajudar o agricultor, as cooperativas?   A plataforma, por oferecer imagens de satélites, vamos lá desmistificar esse ponto... : Quando uma planta está de boa saúde, ela reflecte a luz do solo de uma certa maneira quando está saudável, então, o satélite, ao captar essas imagens, capta aquilo em quatro bandas do espectro eletromagnético, e infelizmente os nossos olhos não conseguem observar, mas o computador observa e o nosso algoritmo pega aquelas bandas e calcula. Assim consegue dar essas informações do índice de vegetação daquela zona e o índice de humidade daquela zona. Ele consegue saber, pelo índice de vegetação, consegue saber se a plantação está boa, onde está boa e onde está má e onde tem humidade ou não tem humidade, onde está completamente seco. Essas informações são cruciais para o monitoramento da fazenda e proporcionar uma actividade mais profissional e realmente mais comercial, porque vai poder ter a capacidade de produzir mais ainda e com mais qualidade.   A partir do momento da recolha até à distribuição, qual é o papel da vossa aplicação?   Os nossos clientes relatam um aumento de 40%, 60% das suas plantações. Então, nós observamos que eles estavam a ter um aumento, mas aí têm que vender a uma velocidade muito grande, porque senão os produtos acabam por estragar. E nós observamos, agora, um outro mercado aí e começamos agora a criar postos logísticos inteligentes para a stocagem (armazenamento) de produtos agrícolas. O que acontecia? Eles têm a necessidade de vender aquilo muito rápido, os escoadores cobravam muito caro, de acordo com a necessidade do cliente. Mas, já com um posto logístico inteligente, ele pode controlar tudo a partir da plataforma, ele tem a possibilidade e tem o tempo de esperar por propostas melhores, para negociar propostas melhores. Então, nós não temos carros para escoar, mas nós oferecemos a possibilidade de estocar. Por isso é que estamos entrando, também, no corredor do Lobito.   Como é que está a ser a aceitação?   Ainda é um problema, por isso é que nós estamos a investir, a levantar capital também para investir pesado na formação. Antes de vir cá, para Portugal, eu estava atrás de uma parceria com Universidade Mandume ya Ndemufayo (UMN)  , uma universidade agrária, e também com alguns centros de formação que são especializados em cursos agrários, de tal maneira a ajudar as pessoas a entender a importância desses dados, a importância de trabalhar com informação precisa de maneiras a melhorar as suas actividades. Então, a literacia ainda é um problema. Tem zonas que nem telemóvel usam, quando usam a rede é escassa. Então, é um problema. Inclusive, eu já pude contribuir com o Governo participando da Estratégia Nacional de Inclusão Financeira. Também falando em inclusão financeira, estamos a envolver o digital. Então, tínhamos que pensar também na distribuição das redes e muito mais, como é que a informação chegaria até lá. Com a minha experiência de campo, com o projeto, já pude contribuir naquela área. E aí o Governo também está a começar a olhar nesse ponto e tentamos tratar aqui da digitalização que vai facilitar também a nossa entrada no mercado.   A nível de área, qual é a área que já tem ao vosso cuidado? Quimbele, agora também estamos, Benguela, Lobito, exatamente, e estamos agora também no Cuanza Norte. São um total de 7 mil hectares. O Lobito estamos a entrar agora e pretendemos já atacar as fazendas que estão ao longo do corredor Lobito. Estiveram presentes na Web Summit, foi importante a vossa presença? Muito importante. Tivemos contacto com investidores internacionais, temos contacto com empresas e empreendedores que realmente podem agregar valor às nossas empresas. Consegui firmar uma parceria que vai levar a nossa solução para um outro nível, vai ajudar com que os nossos fazendeiros tenham portas abertas para o globo, venderem os seus produtos numa única plataforma e também importarem produtos sem múltiplas fontes. Numa única fonte conseguem importar os seus produtos sem ter necessidade de importar de vários pontos e perder a qualidade. Então, se temos um único ponto, onde eles podem confiar. Eles podem, simplesmente, entrar em contacto com aqueles que eles precisam. É, realmente, uma mais-valia para os nossos clientes e também para nós, porque estamos aqui a dar múltiplas oportunidades aos nossos clientes. Então, foi muito, muito, muito importante a nossa presença cá.

Welcome back to the Girls In Movement Podcast. In Episode 49, Polly Dhaliwal sits down with Song Kim, the founder of Zaya Social, a new platform designing safe, intentional, low-pressure social experiences for women navigating modern dating. Recorded live at Web Summit, this conversation dives deep into the changing landscape of dating, technology, women's safety, and how social wellness is becoming central to how we connect. Polly opens the episode from the heart of one of the world's biggest gatherings for founders and changemakers. As COO of Enterprise Nation and Founder of Girls In Movement, Polly reflects on the mission of empowering young women globally with confidence, education, and opportunities to build their futures. Her guest, Song Kim, embodies this spirit. Song shares her honest and personal journey of navigating dating apps, the self-esteem challenges many women face online, and how her own experiences inspired her to build Zaya Social. Instead of endless profiles and swiping, Zaya curates small in-person group hangouts, matching six singles based on hobbies, personality, and shared values — designed to reduce dating fatigue, social anxiety, and pressure. Together, Polly and Song explore: • Why today's dating apps still feel overwhelming for women • What “social wellness” really means and how it can transform confidence • The societal pressures women face around dating, marriage, and timelines • The cultural differences in dating across Korea, Europe, and South Asia • How communities, offline experiences, and curation can rebuild trust • Song's shift from product design to becoming a solo female founder • Her journey as an Alpha startup at Web Summit and preparing to pitch • The future vision for Zaya Social, AI-powered matching, and global expansion • What young girls (and anyone starting out) should remember when choosing their path This is an honest, warm, and uplifting conversation about pursuing ideas that matter, trusting your instincts, and building products that put women's safety and wellbeing first. If you're a young founder, a woman navigating the dating landscape, or someone passionate about female-led innovation, this episode is full of insight, empowerment, and real talk.

Recorded live at Web Summit, this episode of the Girls In Movement Podcast brings together two brilliant women making real impact through design, branding and community leadership. Hosted by Polly Dhaliwal, Founder of Girls In Movement and COO of Enterprise Nation, this conversation features: • Ruby Rose Alice: Founder of Studio 77 and The Non Profit Design Studio, where she leads branding and website design for charities, social enterprises and grassroots organisations around the world. Ruby also leads Project 100, her mission to design and build 100 websites for nonprofits by 2030. • Lorna Bladen: Chief Marketing Officer at Enterprise Nation, and co-founder of SheShoreham, a grassroots community empowering women near Brighton. Lorna brings deep insight into marketing, brand identity, and how founders can cut through the noise in a crowded digital world. Together we explore the realities of building a brand from scratch, the emotional power behind non profit storytelling, and why design still matters in an age of AI and rapid automation. This episode is lively, warm, honest and full of practical advice for founders, creatives, non profit leaders and anyone trying to build something meaningful with limited resources. In this episode: • The story behind The Non Profit Design Studio & Project 100 • Why non profits struggle with branding and how to fix it • How to build a strong brand on a bootstrap budget • The role of AI in design: threat or tool? • Why “launch ugly” is often the best first step for founders • The importance of brand personality and founder story • How to stand out at events like Web Summit • Building community, connection and trust online vs offline • The value of human creativity in an AI-driven world • Advice to their younger selves — slowing down, staying curious and believing in your journey

Send us a textWhat if your meetings, emails, and files didn't disappear into memory but evolved into a living, searchable system of record that actually moved work forward? That's the provocative idea we unpack with David Shim, Co-Founder and CEO at Read AI, who lays out how durable knowledge, personalized models, and a practical “digital twin” can turn everyday chaos into predictable outcomes.We start with the problem everyone feels: notes are scattered, context slips away, and the “why” behind decisions fades. David shows how capturing meetings alongside messages and documents lets patterns emerge you can't spot in isolation. Think instant summaries, action items, and follow-ups that show up where you work, plus multiplayer sharing that aligns teams without busywork. Then we go deeper—multilingual detection across 22+ languages, cultural sentiment baselines so a score means the same thing in Brazil and Belgium, and a narration layer that analyzes how things were said, not just the words themselves.The conversation builds to a future that's already peeking through: storage of intelligence as a company moat, and a digital twin that can answer client questions, preserve momentum during leave, and shrink onboarding from months to days. Agencies track client health before churn, podcasters turn archives into interactive knowledge, and everyday users get immediate value without learning a new workflow. Privacy isn't an afterthought; opt-in and a clear value exchange make participation a rational choice—like using traffic data because it gets you there faster.If you're curious about real productivity gains, faster adoption than smartphones, and AI that amplifies your best work rather than replacing it, this one delivers a roadmap you can use today.

From Web Summit Lisbon, Somewhere on Earth explores how Poland is becoming Central Europe's tech hub. Meet the innovators behind AI-powered greenhouses, a nationwide mobile ID app, and a virtual fertility clinic—all transforming everyday life. Poland is rapidly growing as a tech hotspot, with startups raising €180M last year alone. Its skilled workforce, creative mindset, and engineering heritage are driving global expansion.  We hear about how AI is being used to optimize greenhouse growth, reducing water and energy use while boosting yields. Farmers can control everything via an app, making sustainable farming easier than ever.  The m-obywatel (mCitizen) app turns smartphones into digital IDs, streamlining government services for Poles across the globe. Upcoming EU interoperability could let citizens access services across Europe seamlessly.  And a virtual fertility clinic app uses AI and wearables to guide couples through diagnosis and treatment. Secure, personalized, and medically backed, it empowers informed decisions on reproductive health.  The show is presented by Ania Lichtarowicz from Web Summit in Lisbon. Production Manager: Liz Tuohy Editor: Ania Lichtarowicz  For the PodExtra version of the show please subscribe via this link: https://somewhere-on-earth-the-global-tech-podcast-the-podextra-edition.pod.fan/  If you like Somewhere on Earth, please rate and review it on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Contact us by email: hello@somewhereonearth.co   Send us a voice note: via WhatsApp: +44 7486 329 484    Find a Story + Make it News = Change the World   

Send us a textWalk the floor at Web Summit without leaving your headphones. We sit down with Jo Smets, founder of BluePanda and president of the Portuguese Belgian Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, to unpack how nearshoring and AI are reshaping CRM, marketing, and team delivery across Europe.We start with clarity on nearshoring: why time zone, culture, and communication speed beat cost alone, and how that proximity pays off when you're wiring AI into daily work. Jo shares how BluePanda applies AI beyond demos—recruitment, performance, and operations—then translates those lessons into client outcomes. We compare adoption patterns across startups and corporates, call out the real blocker (end‑to‑end process automation), and map the role of global networks like BBN for keeping pace with tools and trends.The conversation pivots to trust and governance: practical ways to protect data, when on‑prem makes sense, and how to use EU AI Act guidance without stalling innovation. We explore the marketing shift from SEO to GEO, the idea of “AI‑proof” websites, and the move toward dynamic, persona‑aware content that renders at load. Jo offers a simple path to progress—pick one process, pilot, measure, educate—while keeping empathy at the core as managers start leading both humans and AI agents. Along the way, we spotlight how chambers and communities connect ecosystems across borders, turning events into learning loops and real partnerships.Looking to modernize without losing your team's identity? You'll leave with a plan for small wins, a lens for tool curation, and a sharper view of where marketing is headed next.

Welcome back to another episode of Upside at the EUVC Podcast, where ⁠Dan Bowyer⁠,⁠ Mads Jensen⁠ of ⁠SuperSeed⁠, ⁠Lomax Ward⁠ of ⁠Outsized Ventures⁠⁠⁠ dissect the stories reshaping European venture, from Helsinki's Slush takeover to China's rising leverage, TPU vs GPU battles, the UK's AI money wave, and why immigrants found half the unicorns in the Western world.This week's episode ranges from Germany's €35B space ambitions to Meta's TPU dealmaking, from cookie law rollbacks to Lithuania's secondhand unicorn, all culminating in one conclusion: Europe's window for action is open, but narrowing.

In this special live Web Summit edition from Lisbon, roboticist, investor, and founder Chris Coomes shares how and why he built X1 Pipeline, an AI platform that evaluates startups the way he would — only much, much faster. It's something he wishes he had when looking for early stage robotics startups while at Google and Amazon. We also talk about the strange humanoid robots wandering the convention hall at Web Summit, why "agents" is a vastly overused word and why (his take) most of the agent startups he saw at the conference won't be around next year. Plus, why plugging things in is hard — and why (my take) that's a good thing, because it means we humans will still have jobs (as plumbers and electricians) in the future. Enjoy this fun episode, recorded live from the "Croissant Studio" on the floor at Web Summit in Lisbon. ---  Featured voices:Chris Coomes — Founder of X1 PipelineMe (Dan Blumberg) — I'm the host of CRAFTED. and the founder of Modern Product Minds.

Send us a textWhat if most of the economy can be automated without anything we'd call real general intelligence? That provocative idea launches a candid tour with Ben Goertzel through the difference between LLM “breadth” and the kind of generalization that marks true AGI. We unpack why today's models are powerful yet limited, how they'll reshape work in the near term, and what ingredients are missing for systems that reason, invent, and move beyond the data that formed them.We dig into a practical path forward: blending deep neural networks with logic engines, evolutionary learning, and a massive knowledge graph so each part amplifies the others. Ben shares how the Hyperon framework and the ASI chain bring AI on-chain, not just coordinated by it. That means a new AGI language, MeTTa, serving as a smart contract language, enabling formal verification, rich composability, and an integrated reputation layer. Together, these tools aim to embed trust into the stack while opening the door to decentralized AI networks that resist capture by any single company or state.Culture, narrative, and emotion matter just as much as code. A robot-led band nearly got booed off stage until the performance was reframed as exploration, not replacement—proof that context shapes how people accept new tools. We follow that thread into creativity, where AI can mix stems, spark ideas, and widen access for musicians, even as some roles compress. The larger question becomes not whether AI can do the job, but what humans will choose to do for meaning, connection, and joy. Along the way, we weigh openness versus control through a proactionary lens and point you to resources to explore decentralized, trustworthy AI.If this conversation challenged your assumptions or sparked new ones, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

#Websummit 2025 in Lisbon was a blast! We battled through the rain to get to the media villiage where I interviewed the amazing Polish co-founder Anna Connor Lakomy, she explains how Brain Architects are measuring then supporting neurodiversity using AI.Their tool takes care of the neuroscience and psychology so that you can support your brilliant neurodiverse team members in a way that boosts productivity and innovation in a way that makes them feel accepted and supported. This way you can avoid burnout and let them shine and perform in a that feels natural and rewarding. That's inclusion, right there!#Websummit is a great opportunity for tech professionals to learn, connect and chill. Currently they have a two for one offer for 2026, if you haven't already been to Websummit, then I can hands on heart recommend it. Even now, days after the event has finished there is much networking and collaboration happening, very unusual for a huge event like this.Video Version via You Tube

How do we move quantum computing from scientific milestone to measurable business value? It's not an easy question to answer. When I first started covering this tech even the physicists charged with building such machines doubted the feasibility of the whole idea. That's no longer the case today, but the bar for quantum, especially compared to AI, remains almost impossibly high. This episode was taped before a live audience at Web Summit, Europe's largest tech conference, in Lisbon, Portugal.We Meet:  Alice & Bob Co-founder & CEO Théau Peronnin Planqc Co-founder & CEO Alex Glaetzle  Credits:This episode of SHIFT was produced by Jennifer Strong with help from Emma Cillekens.

W tym odcinku Digitalks podsumowuję ubiegłotygodniowy Web Summit w Lizbonie. To było wydarzenie o imponującej skali (71 000 osób ze 157 krajów), a tematem, który dominował na wszystkich scenach, była oczywiście sztuczna inteligencja.Dlaczego fotonika jest istotna dla przyszłości uczenia dużych modeli AI? Jakie duże firmy już teraz wykorzystują agentów AI do automatyzacji procesów? Jaki jest główny cel regulacji europejskich (np. AI Act)? Czym jest embodied intelligence? Zapraszam do słuchania!

Os canalizadores e os eletricistas vão ganhar mais do que os programadores. A conclusão saiu da última Web Summit e há outra certeza: A IA está a mudar o mercado de trabalho e ainda vamos no início.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A resposta a esta pergunta foi dada na última Web Summit. Sim, os canalizadores vão ganhar mais que os programadores. O mercado de trabalho já está a mudar por causa da IA e ainda vamos no princípio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this special live Web Summit edition from Lisbon, I sit down with Tom Haworth, founder of D13 AI, to talk about why “good enough” AI might actually be one of the most dangerous places we can get stuck.And you'll hear Tom say it's time for the leaders of vibe coding platforms (e.g. Lovable, Replit, Cursor) to acknowledge that they're great when you need to “demo not memo”, but not great (today and maybe ever) at delivering production-grade, secure code. We also make a few detours as we detail a ridiculous week in Lisbon, including:How (shocker!) 90% of the conference was about AIWhy “good enough” AI is not a good place to beWhether we'll graduate to great AIAI's ROI now and in the futureWhy it's still iffy whether AI agents they can be trusted to accomplish complex jobsRobots wander Web Summit, do the Macarena, fall downHow tennis great Maria Sharapova uses (IBM's) AI How the presumptuous Web Summit's app prominently suggests we all message Maria… (as if!) Visa wants to help creators monetize (yay! it me!), using Web3 technologies (yes, they said “Web3”; no, I was not expecting to hear a non-ironic use of that phrase)Why self-driving cars are the best robots — and coming soon to more of EuropeHow much Web Summit pampers (and corrupts) the media: I was like a stuffed goose.

Engineering superstar and YouTube icon Colin Furze joins the show fresh from his packed session to discuss two decades of building one of the world's biggest creator channels, the near-mythical underground tunnel project, his relationship with TV, and how he keeps millions of viewers hooked. Ahmed Fayed from Dose of Society shares the journey behind the fast-growing social video brand, how they built a global audience from London street interviews, and why authentic storytelling now travels everywhere from the Emirates to Africa. Justin also catches up with Eline van der Velden from Particle6 after the global reaction to the launch of her AI actress — covering the backlash, the outcomes, and what comes next for creators building with AI.

Le patron de Nvidia, géant américain des puces électroniques, prévient : la Chine pourrait bien remporter la course mondiale à l'intelligence artificielle. Avec une stratégie d'État, des investissements massifs et une capacité d'adaptation impressionnante, Pékin avance vite — pendant que l'Europe cherche encore sa place. En 2017, Pékin a publié une feuille de route très claire : devenir la première puissance mondiale de l'intelligence artificielle d'ici à 2030. Depuis, les investissements se chiffrent en dizaines de milliards de dollars. Selon plusieurs estimations, près de 100 milliards ont été consacrés à l'IA pour la seule année 2025. L'État chinois mobilise tout son écosystème : universités, laboratoires publics, géants du numérique comme Alibaba, Tencent ou Huawei. Et même sur le plan énergétique, Pékin met la main à la pâte. Au début du mois, les autorités ont divisé par deux les factures d'électricité des centres de données utilisant des puces chinoises. Un coup de pouce décisif pour encourager l'adoption nationale. Autre atout, le marché intérieur. Avec plus d'un milliard d'internautes, la Chine dispose d'un réservoir inépuisable de données — le carburant essentiel de l'intelligence artificielle. Chaque nouveau produit d'IA peut être testé à grande échelle, sur des millions d'utilisateurs, en quelques semaines seulement. Et le paradoxe est là. Les sanctions américaines censées freiner Pékin ont en réalité accéléré son autonomie technologique. Privés des puces Nvidia les plus avancées, les ingénieurs chinois ont appris à « faire mieux avec moins » — une IA plus ingénieuse, plus économe et souvent plus efficace. À lire aussiL'intelligence artificielle, une bulle qui gonfle artificiellement la croissance américaine? Une victoire symbolique sur le terrain : l'IA chinoise performe dans le trading Cette puissance ne reste pas théorique. Il y a quelques semaines, une compétition internationale de trading automatisé a opposé plusieurs modèles d'intelligence artificielle du monde entier. Chaque modèle devait investir un capital initial, faire tourner ses algorithmes sur un marché en temps réel et générer du profit. C'est un robot chinois qui a remporté la compétition haut la main. Une victoire symbolique, mais hautement significative. La Chine ne se contente plus de s'inspirer ou de copier les grands modèles américains. Elle les dépasse désormais dans leur mise en application concrète. C'est le signe d'une maturité technologique qui ne cesse de surprendre les observateurs occidentaux. L'Europe cherche sa voie entre régulation et innovation Et pendant que les États-Unis et la Chine s'affrontent, l'Europe peine à suivre le rythme. Alors que se déroule en ce moment le Web Summit de Lisbonne, la commissaire européenne au numérique, Henna Virkkunen, le reconnaît : « Les 27 sont encore trop dépendants des géants américains et chinois ». Pour l'instant, l'Union européenne mise davantage sur la régulation que sur l'investissement. Le AI Act encadre les usages de l'intelligence artificielle, mais aucun grand acteur industriel européen n'émerge encore face à Nvidia, OpenAI ou Alibaba. L'Europe n'est donc pas un concurrent dangereux à court terme. Mais la course est loin d'être terminée. Comme le souligne Jensen Huang, le patron de Nvidia, la Chine a peut-être remporté une bataille, mais pas encore la guerre de l'intelligence artificielle.

Glitch has raised €2 million in seed funding to make digital advertising faster and easier for lean marketing teams and boutique agencies. The round was led by Elkstone, with participation from Gaingels, HBAN, and several European angel investors backing the company's next stage of growth. Founded by Aisling Browne and Kingsley Kelly, Glitch is an AI-powered ad platform that helps B2B marketers launch high-performing campaigns in minutes. It automates campaign setup, targeting, budget allocation, and daily optimisation, while delivering detailed reports showing which audiences, copy, and keywords drive results. These insights power smarter campaigns and give marketing a strategic voice across the business. The company was built around one insight: lean teams don't lack strategy, they lack time. By automating repetitive, data-heavy tasks, Glitch gives B2B marketers the same performance edge as larger organisations with in-house specialists. Early customers report a 5x increase in conversion rates, a 9% lift in click-through rates, and a 30% reduction in cost per acquisition compared to previous setups. "Digital advertising shouldn't feel like decoding a foreign language," said Aisling Browne, CEO and Co-Founder of Glitch."We built Glitch to give lean teams the power, insights, and confidence to run high-performing campaigns - saving hours ofmanual work and removing the guesswork." Browne and Kelly met through Founders, the Dogpatch Labs talent accelerator, where they teamed up around a shared goal to simplify and modernise B2B advertising. Since then, Glitch has grown into a platform used by companies including Protex AI, Web Summit, We Are Riley, Mango Media, and Squid Loyalty. "In a crowded digital marketing landscape, Glitch stands out because it delivers measurable results for its clients," said Niall McEvoy, Managing Director - Venture at Elkstone. "The team has built a platform that truly empowers B2B marketers and boutique agencies - simplifying campaign management while driving performance." The impact of Glitch's platform is evident in customer collaborations. "Over the past four months, our partnership with Glitch Ads has significantly improved campaign efficiency and overall ad performance," said Dan Hobbs, CEO and Co-Founder at Protex AI. "Their data-driven optimisation, transparent communication, and automation tools have delivered measurable gains while allowing our team to focus on higher-value strategic initiatives." "Glitch handled the heavy lifting for our Search Ads. It's like having an extra performance marketer for our team" said Barry McCullagh, Senior Vice President at Web Summit. The new funding will be used to support Glitch's international expansion, grow its commercial teams, and launch new features - including multi-platform integrations with Meta Ads and LinkedIn. The company will also roll out CRM integrations designed to enhance cross-platform reporting and provide clearer visibility into campaign performance and attribution. See more stories here.

Ana Drago é licenciada em Sociologia pela Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra e doutorada em Estudos Urbanos pelo ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa e FCSH/Universidade Nova de Lisboa, com uma dissertação sobre a questão urbana na primeira década da democracia portuguesa. É atualmente investigadora do Centro de Estudos Sociais da Universidade de Coimbra. Tem publicado sobre políticas urbanas e de habitação, participação e democracia na cidade. O seu livro mais recente, escrito juntamente com Mariana Mortágua, é Oportunidade ou Maldição: A indústria do turismo em Portugal. Neste episódio, focamo-nos no livro Oportunidade ou Maldição. Começamos por falar da relação entre turismo e nacionalismo. Discutimos o triângulo da economia portuguesa (banca, turismo e imobiliário), a expansão do turismo em Portugal, o pós-crise financeira de 2008 e o governo de Passos Coelho, o impacto de grandes eventos (como a Expo 98, o Euro 2004, as Jornadas da Juventude e o Web Summit). Falamos sobre a precariedade laboral no turismo, o seu impacto nas comunidades locais, na habitação e no ambiente, assim como o fenómeno do “overtourism”. Finalmente, discutimos a ética do turismo, potenciais restrições ao turismo, e se há excesso de turismo em Portugal.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.
