Freedom Holding Corp., the parent company of Freedom24, took part in The Economist's 30th Annual Government Roundtable, held in Athens from 8 to 10 July 2026. Representing the group, Paul Meeks, Head of Technology Research at Freedom Capital Markets, the US institutional research arm of Freedom Holding Corp., joined the discussion on the opportunities emerging for the European economy in the era of Artificial Intelligence. 🇬🇷 According to Paul Meeks, the global market stands at a critical turning point. While American tech giants are spending billions to build large language models, the industry is now entering a new phase: AI will no longer simply learn information but will apply that knowledge in practice and execute complex tasks on our behalf. "This is a great opportunity for Europe," Paul Meeks stated. In his view, the US currently leads in infrastructure investment, yet Europe holds a strategic advantage in the application layer, the practical software and tools people actually use. Specialising in these solutions could allow the region to lead in innovation without taking on the massive financial risks currently faced by American tech giants. Speaking to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency, Paul Meeks also noted that the most significant technological regulations are likely to come from the European Union, as the current political climate in the US remains too fragmented to drive decisive change. 🇪🇺 Freedom Holding Corp.'s participation in one of Europe's leading policy forums reflects the group's growing engagement in the dialogue around technology, capital markets and the future of financial services.
