AI adoption in EU strategic sectors has more than doubled from 7% in 2021 to 18% in 2025, led by media, energy, and electronic communications, while mobility, tourism, and agri-food sectors lag. The growth is mainly driven by accessible large language models, but AI integration into core business processes remains limited in many sectors.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models and Generative AI.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
AI uptake has gained enough traction across EU industries that you must now plan to embed AI into your core operations, not just marketing. Companies relying on surface-level AI use risk falling behind as demand shifts to integrated, customised solutions.
