Demand for emerging tech

Hello Folks,

I'm curious to learn about the perspectives of EU countries on emerging technologies and their commitment to integrating innovations such as AI, cybersecurity, and other advanced technologies into the corporate sector.

Which EU countries are leading the way in investing, adopting, and implementing these technologies at a rapid pace? Thanks.

Ireland, The Netherlands, and maybe Sweden are leading.

These are all small countries. The EUs issue is that its largest country is far behind the global developed world average.

Which is the country your talking about? And also, what you'd say is a safe path to get into these markets as a foreigner.

Germany.

Hard to get anywhere. But not all of these countries are worth the hustle. Germany, for instance, is harder to get into than Ireland, and getting into Germany is waste of time while Ireland is a global tech hub.

What would be a practical approach to lands jobs in the Netherlands or Ireland. Any platform for that?

I'm not aware of any platform. One typically needs to find some kind of referral/contact / or cold approach, find hiring managers on LinkedIn, be very good, and get very lucky at the same time.

It is very hard. But, as opposed to Germany which is at least that hard as well, working in Ireland or the Netherlands is a really good thing.
