The enterprise value gap is enormous and growing.

Europe is drastically behind the United States in AI enterprise value. When comparing the enterprise value of the top 10 companies in Europe versus the United States, the U.S. is like a full-grown adult at 6 feet 4 inches, while Europe is merely an action figure at 4 inches. This gap means Europe is losing ground in competitiveness, economic growth, and global influence. The risk is that the EU becomes just a consumer of AI rather than a creator or innovator.
