Optionality
mixed — VC + strategic industrials; EU-sovereignty tailwind, not state control (no formal government equity stake). Talks this week (Samsung ~€1B chip-and-AI-sovereignty stake + EQT financial-VC lead) reinforce the mixed pattern rather than shifting it toward state control. One open nuance, low confidence: growing reliance on Microsoft for European compute capacity raises a genuine 'sovereignty vs Microsoft-dependency' question in commentary — flagged, not resolved, since only headline-level coverage of that framing was accessible.
