Varza also said the upheaval could eventually create opportunities for Europe to develop more sovereign alternatives to Nvidia’s technology stack.

   Station F and Anthropic say the AI boom is pulling founders back in person

   Speaking on a panel at Wave by Vento in Turin, Station F director Roxanne Varza and Anthropic's EMEA startup sales head Aiden Blake said the AI boom is drawing more founding teams back to physical offices. Station F hosts 1,000 early-stage companies at all times, and its F/ai programme, launched in February, lets teams go hybrid but requires them on site for key moments; about two-thirds of the current batch is non-French. Blake said trust and access to capital happen in person, and Anthropic runs its EMEA startup support from Dublin with roughly 150 staff.
