Encouraging 🌟 That’s the word that best captures yesterday’s exchange with Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger and former Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Schüssel at Table.Briefings 🙌 ​ What became clear: there is collective excitement and broad support for Germany’s modernization and digitalization. Now we need to seize the momentum – across the public and private sector. We are in this together. I’m truly optimistic about what we can jointly achieve ✨ ​ The new opportunities with AI make this moment to leapfrog into our digital future: 💡 Applied AI is key to competitiveness – Europe must harness its strengths in software, processes and industry-expertise to secure its global position.​ 💡 AI strengthens our ability to act – when applied pragmatically, AI can make administration and industry future-ready: boosting efficiency, closing skills gaps, and unleashing European innovation.​ 💡 Digital sovereignty starts with software – true independence comes not just from servers, but from powerful AI software, integrated platforms, and trusted partners. SAP is committed, as underscored by this week’s announcements. ​ ​ The time for debate is over. The time for applied AI is now.​ ​ #DigitalFuture #Sovereignty #Germany

Kicking off the new day with some exciting news: Noxtua and IONOS initiate Germany’s first sovereign Legal AI Factory! Together with Europe’s leading digitalization partner IONOS we will launch the new Legal AI Factory which will be based on the latest NVIDIA DGX B300 systems with Blackwell architecture — one of the most technologically advanced products currently available on the market. This further enables us to set new standards for secure and high-compliance AI in the legal sector. And I won’t get tired of repeating this:Digital sovereignty is becoming increasingly important for Europe, especially in sensitive areas such as the legal system, and we must respond with concrete technical solutions. This is why I’m especially excited about Germany’s first Legal AI Factory. The new AI Factory will be based in Munich, where Noxtua will also open a new office in Munich after announcing Europe’s largest financing round for Legal AI earlier this year. Learn more in our official press release: https://lnkd.in/dMM_Aki7 Ruth Rothmaler, Dr. Clara Herdeanu, Simon Joecks, Robert Kilian, Joséphine Mansour

✨ Our story, in our own words. Our Co-founder & CEO, Jose V. Gedeon, joined Florian Hagenbuch, Co-founder and General Partner at Canary, on the Cast Canary podcast. In this episode, Jose shares how what started as a university idea has grown into the infrastructure moving over 3% of Colombia’s GDP, and how we’re now scaling rapidly in Mexico. 🇲🇽 Beyond the numbers, he talks about the lessons, pivots, and purpose that continue to drive us: radically transforming corporate payments in LatAm and building the rails that connect the region to the world. If you want to hear where we come from, where we’re headed, and why this is still only Day 0, tune in here: 🎧: https://lnkd.in/ek-GPmmm #Cobre #BreB #B2BPayments #FintechLatAm

🚗💥 𝐆𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. On July 25, 2025, a new regulation quietly dropped into the Bundesgesetzblatt: The “𝐅𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐤-𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐠”. Sounds boring? It’s not. This is 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 that companies like Ottopia and Vay have been waiting for. Remote-controlled cars - steered by human operators from control centers - are now officially allowed on German roads. No more special permits. No more legal gray zones. It’s go-time. But there’s a catch (a smart one): 🔒 Max speed capped at 80 km/h. 👨‍✈️ Remote drivers must be 21+, with 3+ years of driving experience and certified training. 📡 Vehicles need real-time data links and special approvals. It’s a 𝟓-𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞, but make no mistake: This is a massive leap forward. Germany is the first EU country to give remote driving a proper legal framework. ⚡ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐚𝐲? Both have been running trials in Hamburg and Berlin, but now they can scale up. Picture this: 👉 You order a car-sharing EV. 👉 A remote driver steers it through city traffic to your location. 👉 You hop in and drive off yourself. 👉 When you’re done, another remote driver parks it or sends it to the next customer. No in-car driver required. No parking chaos. No more 30% of city traffic spent hunting for parking. Vay already launched such services in Belgium; now Germany is next in line. 🚀 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞? • For cities: Fewer cars parked on streets, cleaner air, less congestion. • For users: Convenience without waiting for autonomous vehicles to catch up. • For the economy: New jobs in tele-driving, tech infrastructure, and fleet services. 🛑 This is 𝙣𝙤𝙩 autonomous driving. It’s human-driven, just remotely. And that changes the entire debate about safety, liability, and readiness. This regulation doesn’t just open doors for Ottopia and Vay. It signals a new era for mobility in Europe. Expect to see more tele-driven ride-shares, deliveries, and rentals in your city soon. The future isn’t self-driving yet. It’s remote-driving: it’s already here. #RemoteDriving #Teleoperation #MobilityRevolution #Germany #Vay #Ottopia #SmartMobility #UrbanTransport #FutureOfDriving #EUtech #Transportation 𝘗𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 (𝘤) 𝘖𝘵𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘢

Last week at the Axel Springer #aisummit25 in Berlin, one message was clear: AI MUST move from vision to value. Scaling AI is key – the fuel for the AI engine is data: reliable, context-rich, and trusted data, that is, with quality over quantity. Here, Europe can lead the way by providing sectoral data spaces and small data rooms, harmonizing and setting clear standards, helping companies, specifically SMBs to close gaps. The Data Act and Data Governance Act are strong foundations. We now need simplification, interoperability and quick ways for SMBs to join in. Thank you Axel Springer for bringing politics and business together to discuss #AIandData. A strong step toward shaping Europe’s digital future.
