US Companies Flock to Europe for Growth

American companies are seeking growth in Europe due to policy uncertainty in the U.S. Ireland, for instance, saw a 37% increase in foreign investment approvals in the first half of 2025. The AI sector is particularly affected, with companies like Microsoft and Google investing heavily in European operations. Acquisitions of European AI talent, such as Anthropics purchase of Humanloop, are also on the rise. The renewable energy sector further illustrates this trend, with European countries offering clear policy frameworks and multi-decade commitments, unlike the U.S. where over $22 billion in clean energy projects were canceled or delayed in the first half of 2025. The EUs consistent guidelines in areas like AI and financial services also contribute to this shift.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
