Hermann Hauser (Amadeus Capital Partners): ARM, Tech Sovereignty & Europe's Scale-Up Gap

Hermann Hauser recounts founding Acorn and ARM, ARM's licensing business model, its ~100% smartphone share, and why low power is now pushing it into data centers against Intel. He discusses Europe's tech sovereignty, the newly launched EIC Scale-Up Europe Fund, Europe's scale-up and management-talent gaps (with the Celexa/Illumina story), and why DeepMind and ARM hubs can reproduce the Silicon Valley flywheel in London, Cambridge and beyond. He also comments on the coming mega-IPOs, Europe's lack of a Nasdaq equivalent, Amadeus' focus on quantum, AI and synthetic biology, and closes with the story of ARM's first chip working without its power pin connected.
