About this episode
Today's episode covers three key trends in the European startup ecosystem: climate AI, anticipatory intelligence and AI for operations. We start with Plume, which raised €3.3M to accelerate site selection for renewable energy using geospatial AI and autonomous agents. A concrete example of AI applied to energy infrastructure. Then Golden Owl, Spanish startup developing an anticipatory intelligence system based on OSINT and multi-agent systems, aiming to become a decision layer for complex contexts. Finally Serve First, which closes €5.7M to scale an AI platform for customer experience and performance management, with focus on execution and operational results. Three clear signals: European AI is moving toward infrastructure, intelligence and core processes.
