Built in Europe: The rise of Physical AI

by Hadrien Robino, Startups Community & Scale Marketing Lead, EMEA, AWS | 12 November 2026

We surveyed 500 physical AI founders across seven European markets. 51% already have technology in commercial use, and 85% are winning their first production customers in Europe, where industrial customers, talent and cost are clear strengths.

Capital is the exception: 71% see funding as Europe’s biggest gap, and 68% say startups get stuck between pilot and production. Yet 77% would build in Europe again today.
