Krüger advocated a culture of open innovation in Europe, as well as the expansion of technological sovereignty, which he said could be achieved through increased investment. He also emphasised that Europe's approach to trustworthy and sustainable AI offers a competitive advantage, as it is based on ethical principles, transparency, and social acceptance from the outset. Companies focusing on trustworthy and sustainable AI would benefit from regulatory certainty and growing international demand for responsible AI, thereby securing a competitive edge in the global digital economy.
