This document is a report by Serena Capital on artificial intelligence investments in Europe in 2017. Some of the key findings from the report include:
- There were 585 AI funding rounds in Europe in 2017 totaling over $2.3 billion invested, smashing the previous record.
- The UK received the most funding rounds and dollars, while France and Germany also saw significant investments.
- The number of jobs created by European AI startups has grown dramatically, reaching over 32,000 jobs across the region since 2014.
- Sectors like health, security, and automotive received the most funding, as applications in these industries raise real concerns about privacy and safety.

Jean-Baptiste Dumont THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RUSH
During the 15th century, Chinese civilization was probably the most advanced in the world. By 1433, the Chinese admiral Zheng He had already sailed from China to India, Indonesia, and even Africa on caravels twice as large as those Christopher Columbus used 59 years later for his fateful journey. China could have been the country to discover America. Instead, its government surprisingly decided to put an end to its naval activities and burn its entire fleet of ships, indirectly allowing Spain to conquer America and bring prosperity to Europe. It took more than 5 centuries for China to recover from this political decision. What could make such an advanced country deliberately turn away from its future? Officially, Chinese elites decided to cease naval exploration for budgetary reasons. But in reality, they burned their fleet of 317 ships because of the new wealth and power bestowed upon a rising class of merchants, seeing this change as a threat to their internal stability (and likely to their sovereignty).
Investors put larger sums of money into fewer cos. in this period. €4.4B was deployed across 571 deals. 18 vehicles raised €2.1B. Median fund size at €86M.
The process of presenting to potential acquirers of your company is riddled with landmines that can lead to deal disasters. As a business leader, you may have made investor and customer presentations, but a presentation to a potential acquisition partner is entirely different. You and your advisor have worked hard to craft your message and attract potential buyers. The journey is not over, and this is one of the hardest parts. It needs to be done right for a successful outcome. This presentation explores the “9 Presentation Mistakes that Will Cost You a Buyer”. This is hard-won knowledge that global CEOs and founders have built while driving towards a successful exit.
Spanish Digital Startup Ecosystem Overview 2015Aleix Valls
Spain is known for many things all around the world, but digital or technology have not been one of such things for many decades. However, things are slowly but steadily changing for both regions.
Barcelona has been described by many as and up-and-coming technology hub in Europe, thanks to a healthy combination of high class educational institutions, government support, ability to attract foreign talent and various waves of entrepreneurs and companies that have planted the seeds for generations to come.
Given the young nature of Spain and Barcelona’s technology scenes, an analysis of their evolution has yet to be produced. 2015 was a record year for the country, and this report will analyse the bigger trends that have defined this record period of time and the areas that could and should still improve over the next few years in order for Spain and Catalonia to become worldwide known for their technology advancements.

HealthTech is at the forefront of startups and scaleups, in the United States as well as in Europe. There is no single European healthcare system or market. Instead, high complexity and cultural diversity of healthcare systems makes it challenging to jump into multiple markets and thus to scaleup new companies. But if you take a close look, you’ll quickly notice that there is interesting stuff happening in Europe
With this report we want to provide a comprehensive review of investment in startups and high-growth HealthTech technology companies across 31 countries in Europe. Our aim is to provide data-driven guidance, insights, perspective and inspiration to stakeholders in the European scaleup ecosystem.

Startups & Venture Capital in the United Kingdom: The Global Startup HubFrontline Ventures
A lot is riding on the UK remaining the premier destination for European startups. In light of Brexit, and tremendous growth in other European markets- will London remain the city of choice for European entrepreneurs?
In our third edition of “Startups & Venture Capital in…” (following Germany in collaboration with Point Nine Capital and the Nordics in collaboration with Northzone), Frontline takes deep dive into its own backyard — the United Kingdom.
We believe it is the most comprehensive report ever created on startups and venture capital in the UK.
Shoreditch, East LondonWhat we have learned:
The UK is unique for its late stage capital compared to other major European technology hubs. London counts 8 funds with £1b+ in funds raised — versus 2 in Germany and 1 in the Nordics.
London has more than 2x the engineering talent of Paris or 4x that of Berlin. London even beats New York in terms of absolute number of developers.
The United Kingdom is unmatched in terms of £100m+ exits in quantity and diversity among sectors. There are £1b+ tech companies in eCommerce, fintech, gaming, travel, proptech, telecom, and enterprise software.
Will Europe tops UK post-Brexit?
With a high concentration of talent, capital and leadership, the UK will remain a significant tech hub for the next decade.
However, Brexit is likely to slow the pace of immigration; this is a significant issue in a country where 75% of new businesses are set up by immigrants.
With venture activity in Berlin, Paris, and other European hubs growing much faster than London, will the UK cede its position as Europe’s leading tech hub?

2. THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RUSH
2018 EDITION
During the 15th century, Chinese civilization was probably the most advanced in the world. By
1433, the Chinese admiral Zheng He had already sailed from China to India, Indonesia, and
even Africa on caravels twice as large as those Christopher Columbus used 59 years later
for his fateful journey. China could have been the country to discover America. Instead, its
government surprisingly decided to put an end to its naval activities and burn its entire fleet
of ships, indirectly allowing Spain to conquer America and bring prosperity to Europe. It took
more than 5 centuries for China to recover from this political decision. What could make such
an advanced country deliberately turn away from its future? Officially, Chinese elites decided
to cease naval exploration for budgetary reasons. But in reality, they burned their fleet of 317
ships because of the new wealth and power bestowed upon a rising class of merchants,
seeing this change as a threat to their internal stability (and likely to their sovereignty).
AI is an extremely powerful trend. It offers humans and machines a brand-new perspective
thereby fueling changes that disrupt our economy today and tomorrow will impact our society
as a whole. China is currently leading the AI race, spending nearly half (48%) of the $12.5
billion to be invested globally in 2017 (*). Europe is lagging behind but experiencing some
strong momentum (+190% YoY), with $2.3 billion invested in AI startups in 2017. In the EU,
the AI ecosystem has created 32,000 jobs at 888 amazing VC backed companies ❤️, up
from zero just 5 years ago.
The time for AI adoption has come. For European policymakers, it’s more a matter of how the
EU will use AI as a competitive edge and lever for society than pouring money into its
development. With populism and isolationism in full swing, the AI revolution must be
legitimized and guided by our institutions, so it can be accepted by the population and keep
us from falling into technological obscurantism.
The faster and the smoother the EU adopts AI, the more advanced it will be compared to
other nations.
