Europe needs to start investing more in defense technology, including robotics, hardware and artificial intelligence to protect itself, said Florian Seibel, the chief executive officer of German drone startup Quantum Systems.
Russia’s war in Ukraine was “a wake-up call for European resilience,” Seibel said in an onstage interview at the Bloomberg Technology Summit in London. “The only way we can protect what we have in Europe is by investing in technology, in automation, in robotics that can monitor our borderlines. That’s exactly what we’re doing.”
