From the start, PhysicsX has been driven by a relentless commitment to revolutionize advanced industries through AI, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in engineering and manufacturing. Our mission is clear: empower engineers to build beyond human imagination, and reshape industries by accelerating progress at an unprecedented scale.
Today, we take a bold step forward.
We are proud to announce that PhysicsX has joined the EU AI Champions Initiative, led by General Catalyst and unveiled at the AI Action Summit in Paris by French President Emmanuel Macron. This initiative establishes a powerful coalition of over 60 leading European companies, representing a bold effort to redefine Europe’s role in the global AI revolution. Our collective goal is to unite the brightest minds and the most forward-thinking organizations in a shared mission to accelerate AI adoption across advanced industries, including aerospace and defense, energy and materials, semiconductors, and automotive, while driving innovation, attracting talent, and empowering European businesses to compete — and win — on the world stage.
Europe has an unparalleled opportunity to lead in applied AI, strengthening its industrial sector, boosting productivity, and securing economic sovereignty. Now is the time for bold action — a time to fortify critical sectors and position Europe as a leading force in AI. And PhysicsX is at the forefront of this revolution, ready to catalyze progress and create new paths to innovation.
Jacomo Corbo, CEO of PhysicsX, shared his vision at the AI Action Summit:
"This is a defining moment for Europe. Harnessing AI in advanced industries is a pressing imperative both as a matter of productivity and of overall global competitiveness as more and more economic value becomes software-defined. Europe’s economic resilience and global influence for generations to come will be defined by how it meets this moment. This is also Europe’s opportunity to lead, to build, and to shape the future on its own terms — building on its rich engineering and manufacturing heritage. At PhysicsX, we believe that true innovation happens at the intersection of bold vision and relentless execution. And we are committed to building pioneering technology that will accelerate innovation in Europe’s most important manufacturing industries.”
Jeannette zu Fürstenberg, Managing Director and Head of Europe at General Catalyst, emphasized the mission’s collective power:
"The EU AI Champions Initiative is about action, not just ambition. By bringing together Europe's leading innovators, we are building the foundation for AI leadership that drives real impact — across industries, economies, and societies. PhysicsX exemplifies the spirit of this transformation: applying AI at the frontier to solve complex challenges and shape the future. This is Europe’s moment to lead, and together, we are making it happen."
Through partnerships with engineering powerhouses like Leonardo Helicopters — whose pioneering collaboration with PhysicsX is featured in the EU AI Champions Report — PhysicsX is accelerating engineering workflows across design, testing, and manufacturing.
We are proudly European and proud to work with customers across Europe on critical AI applications in engineering. The future of AI is unfolding, and Europe has a vital role to play — one that PhysicsX is proud to help shape.
