Opinion: Europe’s VCs must embrace risk — or resign the AI era to US control

Europe’s AI startups are losing ground to the US — and their own investors are to blame. Only 5% of global venture capital is raised in the EU, according to the European Commission. The US, by contrast, attracts more than half, while China takes 40%. Yet Europe isn’t capital-poor: households save €1.4tn a year, nearly twice as much as in America.

Trump administration to impose a $100,000-per-year fee for H-1B visas

President Donald Trump has signed a new executive order, which adds a $100,000 fee to H-1B visa applications. It's not a one-time fee either: Companies will have to pay $100,000 a year for any employee it brings over to the US on the visa for up to six years. The Secretary of Homeland Security will restrict approval for visa applications unless accompanied by the fee, though the rule "allows case-by-case... Read more
