China’s AI scene is moving faster than ever. From open source breakthroughs to cost-effective chatbots, chinese models are making waves. But how do they compare to the EU’s approach, and what does this mean for businesses navigating both markets?

The BCECC invites you to our event “Beyond ChatGPT & DeepSeek: Decoding AI’s rise in Europe & China” on June 25, 2025 at 14:00 CET, during which expert speakers of Agoria and DXC will demystify the latest advancements in AI, spotlight the key differences between Chinese and European tools, and decode the legal frameworks shaping their futures.

Discover the innovators driving AI developments, the role of open-source collaboration, and why cost-effective solutions are redefining expectations. Explore whether these models can truly rival global competitors and where the technology is headed next. We will then unpack the EU’s AI Act: what it is, how it’s transforming the regulatory landscape, and its ripple effects on businesses—especially in the context of EU-China relations.
