ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The Sifted Summit sparked some big questions about Europe’s tech future. We unpack the conversations that caught our hosts’ attention, from why European founders struggle with sales to Bending Spoons’ unconventional approach to M&A, and Nick Clegg’s thoughts on AI, China and Europe’s relationship with the US. Also, who are the two technophobes in the current Labour cabinet?

Also in this episode, we’re covering Anthropic's IPO and what it could mean for the wider AI ecosystem and asking how much of the AI boom is technology, and how much is hype?
