Nokia CEO: Data centers would be built 2x faster without shortages
Nokia CEO Justin Hotard told CNBC that AI data center demand remains robust, and customers would build twice as fast if not for supply constraints like memory chip and energy shortages. This comes despite debates about slowing AI development. Nokia, a major telecom equipment maker, has pivoted to AI infrastructure, selling technology to connect chip racks and interconnect data centers. The company's stock is up about 130% in the past year. Hotard emphasized that even without new frontier models, deploying existing technology offers significant progress. The article also notes that AI buildout investments could total $10.3 trillion from 2025 to 2032, and that recent safety concerns from Anthropic researcher warnings caused a selloff in AI stocks.

EU Tech Leaders Urge 25% Budget for Critical Tech
At DIGITALEUROPE's Executive Board Strategy Days in Brussels, tech leaders urged the EU to dedicate 25% of its next multi-annual budget (2028-2034) to critical and digital technologies, and to set a binding 32% electrification target by 2030 with faster grid permits. In a subsequent interview, Director-General Cecilia Bonefeld-Dahl highlighted structural barriers for European scaleups, including an €800 billion investment gap versus the US, regulatory complexity, and limited public procurement. She called for faster funding access, simplified rules, and more ambitious public buying. DIGITALEUROPE advocates for a competitive EU budget, supports the EU Scaleup Fund, and calls for aligning the AI Act with sector regulations. It also promotes transatlantic cooperation and dual-use tech while cautioning against protectionism and supporting a pause on the Digital Fairness Act.
