Learn how Parloa became Germany’s second unicorn of the year, how Quantum Systems secured €160M to dominate aerial AI, and how the EIB’s €70B initiative is reshaping venture capital in Europe. We also dive into Lyft’s FreeNow acquisition, biotech patent wars, the MiCA crypto license, and regulatory risks like the EU Data Act.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
What Parloa’s unicorn status reveals about AI-native SaaS
How Europe’s biggest VC fund is changing startup investment
