Chancellor Friedrich Merz is opening the two-day Invest in Germany Summit in Berlin, which the government is using to draw private money into public spending, according to Deutsche Welle. Bloomberg reports that Merz said Europe can harness its economic strength to overcome economic malaise and renewed his plan to boost investment in areas such as artificial intelligence and overhaul the social welfare system. CNBC reports that Nvidia announced planned investments in four German startups at the summit and that Merz urged businesses to embrace AI. Nvidia did not disclose the size of the investments, which CNBC says are part of a commitment of nearly $10 billion across Europe.
