By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Europe is significantly trailing the U.S. and China in AI investment and company valuations, with U.S. private investment in AI reaching $285.9 billion in 2025 compared to Europe's $20.9 billion. Peter Koerte, CEO of Siemens's Smart Infrastructure, believes Europe can leverage its long industrial history and vast datasets to gain an advantage in industrial AI applications, distinct from language-based LLMs. Siemens is investing over €1 billion in industrial AI and is developing its own foundation model, aiming to shorten engineering cycles by up to 40%, while also focusing on building trust with manufacturers to access their proprietary data for training.
