We're just building it.
No excuses.
Europe is the best place on this planet to build hardware.
Join us.
The best robotics meetup in the world.
Tonight in Berlin
CLANKERS
Multiple fully autonomous heavy duty machines. Industrial multi arm robot installations. Drones. Anti drone products. Space lasers. And thats not even all of it.

We visited Carl Pei @getpeid in their @nothing workshop in London to find out how he's beating Apple at their own game - from Europe.
Link to full video below.
Europe is building momentum.
We’ve been building @nothing out of London, proving you can build ambitious tech companies in Europe. Shipped millions of devices globally, crossed $1B in sales last year.
@andreasklinger, co-initiator of @euinc_petition and host of “Europe’s Most Ambitious Startups,” came to London to visit Nothing’s workshop. We talked about competing with Apple and Samsung, why manufacturing in Europe would be challenging for our product categories, and how AI will make every phone’s OS personal to its owner.
The tailwind is building for startups in Europe. For years, the narrative has been brain drain to the US, weak capital markets, startups relocating, and that is changing.
Ursula von der Leyen announced EU-Inc at Davos this week, a pan-European company structure letting startups scale across all 27 member states under one rulebook. What started as a grassroots initiative co-initiated by Andreas is now becoming policy.
€5B Scaleup Europe Fund launches this spring for AI, quantum, semiconductors. European Innovation Act coming in Q1 to remove barriers. The EU is moving.
Check out my interview with Andreas: piped.video/Vc5o9aD8vZE

Sunrise Robotics trains their robotic manufacturing cells in simulation, then tests them in their lab, and finally ships them to the customer's factory where they wake up and can immediately go to work.

We had industrial robotic arms for decades. The reason it was only used in mass manufacturing, is that every robotics setup was a one-off built from scratch.
Sunrise Robotics is changing that with their general purpose manufacturing cells that can learn any task in simulation.

Europe accounts for 17-18% of global manufacturing output, second only to China. High-mix, low-volume production forms the backbone of the European economy. Full video linked below

This clip showcases Sunrise Robotics' manufacturing cell which is operating PCB testing machines to autonomously test PCB boards of all sizes.
This is a great example of the type of high-mix low-volume manufacturing that their robotic cell can automate.

Europe's demographic crisis is about to hit our manufacturing sector.
Without European manufacturing, we have no manufacturing prosperity. It's as simple as that.
We need robotic automation to upgrade workers to maschine supervisors to protect prosperity and stay competitive.

Europe has insane potential and I genuinely believe we all need to switch to hyperambition as a default.
I want to do more things like this to bring great people together in 🇪🇺.
So if you want to join the next meetup follow us or @andreasklinger and sub piped.video/@prototypecap!

One more shoutout to @patrickhrmn of fortino and @blwiertz for co-organizing and doing most of the heavy lifting here. 🙏🏻

We wrapped up with a bit of first-view on upcoming European hype vid (TBA soon 👀)
Imho Vienna is developing into an under-the-radar hub for practical AI-native tooling + products. Tons of epic talent is there. TU Wien and Spengergasse are not to mess with.

2nd "How to build AI-native products in a post-claude world?" @mitsuhiko @badlogicgames @nicolaygerold
What is the new baseline? What do eng teams need to keep up? Armin demo’d an amazing alt use in PRs + Nicolay showed @sourcegraph’s new AMP product + surprise guest @julianlehr

We had two awesome firesides!
First was on how to sell & distribute dev products in the AI-age, moderated by @Sierralog with @xeraa + @moritzplassnig.
How do you do sales if people no longer check emails?
How do you do open-source in a world of perma-bot PRs & breaking changes?

We filled the house to the brim!
150 builders from Vienna and all over Europe came. We had actually 300+ applicants but couldn’t fit any more people in the venue.
And then the AC broke! 🔥
I want to do something like this again soon and will have a larger space next time. 👀

Wow Vienna! 🤯
Our invite-only builders event yesterday was a blast!
Thank you to everyone who came!
Thank you also to @patrickhrmn and @blwiertz (@techeurope_) for organizing, and @getsentry for sponsoring us!

Fuel does not need to come out of the ground. We spend 150 year putting carbon into the atmosphere. By mining the sky we can get the fuel we need without killing the climate. That's how we can stop drilling for fossil fuels.

Rivan has a very simply decision framework: Does it get us to our goal faster or not? This basic heuristic can compound rapidly and that's why some teams outpace others over time.

Cheap synthetic fuels could be a game changer. We can "stop drilling." if we align capital gains with climate gains. This is a huge opportunity.

New resources unlock possibilities thought impossible. For example catalysators back about 30% of global GDP. Dunia's material science robot lab can enable abundance by discovery new materials.

Building impactful companies can be the fastest road to ruin. But, sometimes, that's the risk worth taking. Ever feel like you're betting it all? #entrepreneurship #startups

Witnessing robots on the job! From brickwork to stickering, construction sites are getting a high-tech makeover. Is this the future of building? #innovation #robotics
