Paul & Alba discuss the current Innovation Crisis in Europe with the BV Innovation Lab Voice Team.
Along with ways to fix it.

As we all get back to work after summer,
Paul is joined in the studio by the entire Voice Services Team
of our BV Innovation Lab.

Whilst Leslie reports on a worrisome decline
in European business leadership, George and Henry 
point to a new generation of Euro Innovators
in advanced technologies.

At the same time, Carrie informs us of new
EU draft legislation to "protect us from AI".
Will such regulation from Brussels help,
or hinder?

"As recently as the 1990s,
Western Europe made up 32%
of companies in the top 1%
of economic profit, globally.

By 2016, that slice of the pie
had shrunk by half, where only 16%
of these leading firms came
from Europe."

Today, Europe is investing
in Data Analytics, Cloud Computing,
IoT... and European innovators
lead in AI, Robotics and Voice.

Is a comeback in the making?
