The transition from 5G to 6G is no longer a technical discussion. It is reshaping governance, sovereignty, investment horizons and organizational trust.

As organizations grow more sophisticated in their use of data, technology and regulation, insight alone is no longer sufficient. Reports are read, dashboards reviewed, risks mapped. Yet many strategic challenges today are not caused by a lack of information, but by a lack of shared reflection at the right level.
Artificial intelligence debates in Europe often revolve around regulation, sovereignty and the dominance of American platforms. Less visible, but no less consequential, is the role played by non-European industrial powers whose technologies are deeply embedded in Europe’s digital and economic fabric. Samsung is one of them.
Salesforce’s introduction of Agentforce 360 marks a new phase in the evolution of artificial intelligence inside organisations. Rather than positioning AI as a standalone automation layer, the concept of the “Agentic Enterprise” frames AI agents as collaborators: systems designed to support employees in decision-making, coordination and execution. While this approach is technologically ambitious, its European rollout reveals challenges that go far beyond software adoption.
The global AI race is often reduced to a single question: who is ahead? A better question is where power is built. AI strength emerges across three levels: macro (capital and scale), meso (models and institutions), and micro (startups and talent). Looking at the US, China and Europe through this lens reveals three very different strategies.
China rarely dominates Western headlines in the same way as Silicon Valley or Brussels, yet few countries shape the global future of artificial intelligence as quietly and consistently. While public debate in Europe and the United States often focuses on regulation, ethics and market competition, China has taken a different path. It treats AI not as a standalone sector, but as a strategic foundation for national power.
