In this episode, we cover the EU’s rethink of AI regulation, a semiconductor supply thaw with China, Klarna’s pay-by-bank move in Germany, the UK’s “Quantum Decade,” and Germany’s record-setting battery storage project. 

What we cover:

  • How potential timing tweaks to the AI Act could affect startup roadmaps and compliance budgets
  • Why the Nexperia chip deal matters for auto, industrials, and supply risk
  • What Variable Recurring Payments signal for card rails and open banking adoption
  • Where UK quantum funding is headed—and who benefits
  • How utility-scale storage reshapes Europe’s energy-security story
