Europe is facing a rare opportunity to become a global leader in AI-powered robotics, thanks to its “incredibly strong” industrial base, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, according to CNBC, cited by News.ro.
Huang emphasized that the region is at a unique point where it can combine traditional industrial strengths with rapid advances in artificial intelligence. “You can now bring together industrial and manufacturing capabilities with AI, and that takes you into the world of physical AI, into the world of robotics,” he said.

This transition, Huang added, allows Europe to “leapfrog” the software-driven era that has been dominated by the United States over recent decades and move directly into leadership in intelligent robotics.
Industrial strength meets artificial intelligence
Interest in autonomous robots has surged over the past two years, as advanced AI models have significantly expanded industrial use cases. Against this backdrop, several major European companies have stepped up investments and partnerships in robotics.
Groups such as Siemens, Mercedes-Benz Group, Volvo, and Schaeffler have announced new robotics-focused initiatives in recent months, highlighting a strategic shift toward advanced automation across European industry.
Huang’s remarks suggest that Europe already has the core ingredients to emerge as a global hub for intelligent robotics, provided it succeeds in rapidly integrating AI into its existing industrial infrastructure.
