An Ocean Away, A World Apart: Tech Ecosystems in the US and EU (Andrew McAfee) | DLD25

Описание: Andrew McAfee, MIT Sloan

Renowned economist and bestselling author Andrew McAfee (MIT Sloan School of Business) delivers a wake-up call to Europe, examining the widening gap between the U.S. and the EU in tech innovation and economic growth.

As a proud member of “Team Liberal Democratic West,” McAfee analyzes the Draghi report and highlights two significant challenges: Europe’s lag in venture capital funding – just 20% of U.S. levels – and its inability to scale startups into large, publicly traded companies.

In his compelling DLD25 talk, McAfee examines the structural issues behind these gaps, including overregulation, labor market rigidity, and taxation, while emphasizing the critical role of venture capital in fostering high-growth tech ecosystems.

He challenges the EU to confront these issues and asks if Europe is willing to take the necessary steps to close these gaps and reclaim its position as a leader in technological innovation.
