Trump, Power & the EU Tech Scene

January 29, 2025

1510
History has repeated itself & Trump is back in…

Trump has made a return to power, and the front row of his inauguration featured some of the most influential figures in big tech. But what does this mean for the European tech scene? 

His previous presidency had a significant impact on Europe’s tech landscape, and we might witness similar trends this time around. 

What happened last time?

During his last term, trade disputes—particularly with China—disrupted global supply chains. As a result, EU tech firms reliant on transatlantic partnerships faced higher import costs, logistical delays, and stricter compliance requirements. These challenges made it increasingly difficult to meet US market demands. 

Could history repeat itself, this time with even greater complications due to Trump’s “America First” agenda? We might see policies designed to further restrict European tech companies from entering the US market, including import limitations, regulatory barriers, and challenges in key sectors such as AI and 5G, where competition is fierce. 

Taking another look at the front row of Trump’s inauguration—could this signal future challenges for European tech firms? Speculation suggests that government support for US tech giants could intensify, potentially widening the competitive gap between American and European companies. With possible tax breaks, increased federal spending on companies like Microsoft and Amazon, and a more relaxed regulatory stance, efforts to level the playing field through existing regulations may be hindered. 

However, it’s not all doom and gloom.

Trump’s presidency could also present opportunities for the European tech scene. 

If the US market becomes less accessible, the EU might shift its focus towards strengthening internal markets and fostering regional collaboration. This could result in the development of more integrated ecosystems across sectors like fintech, healthtech, and AI. 

Additionally, a decline in US investment—should Trump push his “America First” strategy to the extreme—might prompt European firms to explore alternative funding sources within the EU. This could lead to expansion and self-sufficiency within the region. Furthermore, there’s potential for increased investment from Asian markets, offering new avenues for growth and deeper transatlantic relationships. 

While Trump’s return brings uncertainty, it also provides a unique opportunity for the European tech industry to innovate, adapt, and strengthen its position on the global stage. We will be keeping a close eye on the developments!

Known as Project Jarvis, this initiative aims to perform tasks autonomously, rather than waiting for user commands. It can manage tasks such as handling emails, conducting research, and scheduling appointments, setting itself apart by proactively collaborating with users as a digital partner. 

While the technology holds exciting potential, it also raises important questions. On the skeptical side, concerns include the potential for job automation, which could impact routine roles, and security risks, given that Jarvis would have access to users’ sensitive data. However, the technology could also provide significant benefits, enhancing accessibility for people with disabilities and those with busy, on-the-go schedules. 

We’re excited to see where this innovative project leads!
