Nadia Calviño on Europe’s Need to Catch Up with the U.S. by Investing in AI Infrastructure

In this episode of The Brussels Beat, Javier Espinoza, The Capitol Forum’s Europe Executive Editor, speaks with Nadia Calviño, President of the European Investment Bank, about Europe’s push to scale up investment in AI data centers, factories, and digital infrastructure, and what’s at stake if the EU falls further behind the U.S. and China.

The discussion examines how recent shifts in EU tech policy and deregulation could shape innovation and growth, the European Investment Bank’s role in financing AI “gigafactories” across the continent, and why retaining startups and scaling AI adoption within European industry remain persistent challenges.
