Is Europe losing the AI race? Magnificent Seven widen gap over Europe's giants
Europe is losing the AI race. The continent's largest companies are increasingly outpaced by their US counterparts—particularly in the rapidly evolving technological sector. While the broader European equity market has outperformed the S&P 500 so far this year, the continent's corporate heavyweights are falling behind in the global stock market hierarchy. The gap highlights a deeper transatlantic divide in innovation, private capital, and long-term competitiveness. As of mid-July, the combined market capitalisation of Europe's seven largest listed firms — SAP, Novo Nordisk, Hermès, ASML, LVMH, Roche and Nestlé — stands at $2.2 trillion (€1.73tr), virtually flat year-to-date. That puts the combined market cap of US 7 largest companies at $18,8 trillion vs. of EU's largest. By contrast, the US 'Magnificent Seven' — Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Broadcom (instead of Tesla) — have reached a cumulative valuation of $18.8tr (€16.12tr), up 10.2% since the start of the year. Tech dominance defines the US-EU divergence The divergence reflects the central role of technology and artificial intelligence in today's equity market leadership. Seven out of seven of the largest US companies are technology firms with significant exposure to AI infrastructure, cloud computing or data platforms. In Europe, just two companies in the top seven — SAP and ASML — are active in the technology sector, with the remainder concentrated in luxury goods, pharmaceuticals and consumer staples. Nvidia alone is valued at €3.59 trillion, larger than the combined market cap of Europe's top seven. Its dominance is tied to its role in powering AI infrastructure worldwide, from model training to real-time inference. 'While the others use AI to power their platforms and services, Nvidia supplies the very foundation on which those ambitions are built,' said Natalie Hwang, founder of Apeira Capital, in an emailed comment. 'It quietly enables the success of every other member of the Magnificent Seven, while remaining their most indispensable partner.' According to industry estimates, Meta, Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft are set to spend over $320 billion (€294 billion) on AI infrastructure in 2025, much of it focused on inference optimisation and hyperscale data centres.

JP Morgan Chase's message to Europe: 'You're losing' JP Morgan Chase chief executive Jamie Dimon reinforced the broader concerns over Europe's global position during remarks at a recent event in Dublin hosted by the Irish foreign ministry. 'Europe has gone from 90% of US GDP to 65% over 10 or 15 years. That's not good,' Dimon said. 'You're losing.' He pointed to overregulation, fragmentation, and weak productivity as structural weaknesses, and urged European leaders to act on the 2024 report led by former ECB President Mario Draghi, which recommended €800 billion in annual investment to strengthen industrial competitiveness. Dimon added: 'We've got this huge, strong market and our companies are big and successful, have huge kinds of scale that are global. You have that, but less and less.' Related ASML sees share price drop as Trump's tariffs darken outlook A moment of reckoning The diverging fortunes of the Magnificent Seven and Europe's corporate champions symbolise a broader transatlantic imbalance—not just in technology, but in economic dynamism. While Europe's top firms are respected global brands, they are increasingly eclipsed by American companies that are not only growing faster but also shaping the future. The AI race has become a litmus test for global economic relevance. If Europe is to keep pace, it must resolve its innovation shortfall, energise private investment, and modernise regulation. Otherwise, as Dimon put it bluntly: 'You're losing.'

Inside Standard Chartered's Bold Bet On Tech-Driven Innovation
Standard Chartered may be best known to the public for sponsoring Liverpool FC, but behind the scenes, it's one of the most complex and globally integrated banks in the world—with $1.9 trillion in assets and liabilities across more than 50 markets. In fact, the story of Standard Chartered is the tale of two banks spanning centuries and continents. It began in 1853 with a royal charter from Queen Victoria for a bank in Asia and later merged with the Standard Bank of South Africa. After decades of developing capital markets to make the most of investor opportunities, today the bank is an innovative player in the financial services industry, addressing global trends and challenges with a progressive approach. The transformation of Standard Chartered included a move away from Oracle to SAP, choosing native integration over 'best of breed' components. But success did not come easily. 'Let me tell you how we became a case study in successful, large-scale finance transformation after two failed attempts,' said Tom Pfaff, COO, Group CFO, Standard Chartered. He was speaking at the recent SAP and SAP Fioneer Forum for Financial Services event presented by TAC Insights in Munich. The catalyst Pfaff went on to describe years of complexity and system overload. Before 2018, the bank's finance and treasury systems were decades old. The last meaningful upgrade was in the year 2000. Over time, their infrastructure had ballooned into a patchwork of 10 general ledgers, 22 treasury systems, and endless spreadsheets. Attempts to modernize had failed repeatedly, and the landscape was convoluted. A clear mandate emerged: it was time for a true transformation, and it had to succeed. Thus began 'Aspire,' Standard Chartered's ambitious finance transformation program. 'What made this program different was a critical shift in mindset,' said Pfaff. 'This was clearly not just a technology problem—the problem was the finance and operating model. We realized that the previous failures were largely due to finance taking a back seat. This time, we were leading the charge, owning both the problem and the solution.' Pfaff's team focused on 10 foundational use cases—only one of which was about technology. The rest addressed core finance functions such as intercompany reconciliation, FX management, and faster period closes. The team decided to embrace three core principles: The tech backbone The implementation of these core principles led to the creation of a powerful Subledger Data Store, the new heart of finance operations, running on SAP S/4HANA. This centralized platform captures 30 million daily transactions in real time, enabling clean, validated, and unified data access across the bank. The bank's transformation included a move away from Oracle to SAP, choosing native integration over 'best of breed' components. Other key technologies included the SAP Profitability and Performance Management application, used to embed processes such as funds transfer pricing directly into the data platform, SAP SuccessFactors solutions, and ICON, a world-class financial control platform used for reconciliation and audit codeveloped with SAP. Thanks to Aspire, liquidity management now operates in near-real time. The system processes $80 billion in daily payments and provides accurate views of cash positions globally—down from a two-hour delay. Enabling AI Pfaff explained that Standard Chartered is now able to integrate climate impact data directly into the subledger. Every contract and every loan has an emissions profile, helping the bank track Scope 3 emissions anbd assess deals against their net-zero commitments. Perhaps most impressively, Aspire laid the foundation for AI deployment. With trusted, compliant, and regulator-approved data in one place, the finance team can now rapidly launch analytics and AI use cases. Pfaff listed some examples: AI models using satellite imagery are forecasting shipment arrivals, and embedded profitability analysis, updated daily, is now available for clients. The transformation is culminating in the rollout of FinSight—the bank's next-generation analytics and AI platform, built on SAP Business Technology Platform. With more than 35 use cases in development, FinSight gives finance teams dashboards, real-time data, and AI agents for deeper insights and faster decisions. 'After nearly seven years, Aspire is wrapping, but the value it's unlocking is just beginning,' Pfaff concluded. 'By centralizing trusted data, embedding processes into that data, and embracing a culture of ownership and simplification, we've turned finance from a back-office function into a strategic powerhouse.' Pfaff's message was clear: transformation isn't just about systems—it's about leadership, people, and putting data where it matters most. It's a key component of the bank's strategy for staying ahead of the curve. 'Our goal is to embrace digital transformation to help us meet the demands of a tech-savvy clientele and navigate the evolving financial landscape,' said Pfaff.
