I was pretty convinced to buy Garmin sport watch as replacement to my Apple Watch 4, but learned today there is a European alternative watchmaker called Polar (unsurprisingly from Finland) which makes pretty decent smartwatches #smartwatch #buyeuropean #running #hiking #europeantech #finland #polar #garmin

There’s a perception that Europe creates regulations while the US creates innovations. This week’s funding news challenges that. ElevenLabs (voice AI) and Axelera (edge computing) represent a "sovereign" stack—infrastructure built to EU standards. It’s not just about catching up; it’s about building an alternative model. Is this the start of a true competitor to US tech dominance? 🇪🇺
