Rising geopolitical tensions and conflicts in Europe have created a booming demand for arms, yet the European industry faces significant challenges, including a lack of production capacity and political hesitance to increase military spending. Traditional defense companies struggle to adapt to modern warfare needs, while innovative start-ups are emerging as potential leaders in the sector, leveraging new technologies to meet current demands more effectively.
Big Tech is facing a reckoning as critiques from diverse political and economic sectors converge, highlighting issues like centralization and privacy erosion. The faltering AI market and growing public demand for privacy are fueling the push for alternative, democratic tech solutions, supported by innovative funding models and independent initiatives. As Big Tech's dominance wanes, a new ecosystem focused on genuine innovation and public benefit is poised to emerge.
