Bloomberg: Europe Is Racing China to Dominate Industrial AI (Dr. Nicole Lemke)

In the Bloomberg explainer "Europe Is Racing China to Dominate Industrial AI" (published October 17, 2026, by reporter Marilen Martin), Senior Policy researcher Dr. Nicole Lemke's research on European AI competitiveness is featured evaluating the competitive landscape of AI startups between the European Union and the United States. Dr. Lemke's research demonstrates that the EU consistently outpaces the US in creating new AI manufacturing startups annually. Conversely, the report highlights that the US retains a massive lead in founding AI startups across non-manufacturing sectors such as horizontal enterprise software, healthcare, finance, and R&D tools (surpassing 1,000 new startups in 2024 compared to under 500 in the EU).
