European Dynamism Report

Europe’s tech ecosystem is entering a different kind of growth cycle. After years of playing catch-up, the continent is building serious advantage in the sectors that could define the next decade, from AI and robotics to digital health, space, energy and biology.

The European Dynamism report explores where Europe has a real shot at producing global winners, and the startups already making that future feel less theoretical. It looks at the forces reshaping the market: technological sovereignty, patient capital, deep scientific talent, stronger operator experience and the growing pressure to build companies that can compete internationally from Europe.

These are the same questions at the centre of Sifted Summit 2026. How do challengers become category leaders? Where is real defensibility emerging? And what does it take to scale with conviction in an AI-first, capital-disciplined, regulation-heavy market?
