How can Europe create a thriving deep tech economy?
Europe possesses tremendous potential in the field of deep tech. Boston Consulting Group reports that European deep-tech investment has grown by approximately 50 percent annually since 2015. It stands as one of Europe's most promising areas for growth, with leading start-ups in AI, quantum computing, automation, and more.
Nevertheless, Europe faces a dilemma as an increasing number of deep-tech firms redirect their focus to the United States to accelerate their expansion. The decision of chip designer ARM to list on the US Stock Exchange was a particularly painful blow. State-backed initiatives in the US and China present a formidable challenge for European governments, with multi-trillion-dollar investment packages providing significant opportunities for American tech firms. Europe now has an opportunity to foster the growth of deep tech firms by developing a clear strategy that drives innovation and maximizes the continent's existing strength in STEM.

Will CISOs become obsolete in the future?
Navigating the complexities of today’s digital landscape, it's clear that cyber security can no longer be the sole accountability and responsibility of one person -- the CISO. As cyber threats evolve, becoming more frequent and sophisticated, a single individual can't feasibly manage it all. As a result, and at some point in the future, we may dare to consider that the traditional CISO role might eventually become obsolete as business units become secure-by-design.
We need to pivot. Rather than placing the weight of managing an organization's entire security on the shoulders of one person, we need to integrate cyber security throughout every layer of our operations. This means moving towards a world where every business unit and every employee in an organization understands and owns their role in maintaining cyber security.
