Summary
This article reports on the 2026 IFA trade fair in Berlin, noting that the European market prioritizes practicality and solving concrete problems over chasing cutting-edge concepts like AI and embodied intelligence. Chinese exhibitors exceeded 1,000, up nearly 35% year-on-year, but the show lacked flashy tech showcases, with attendees more concerned about whether products solve real issues.
Bubble analysis
This news mainly describes Europe's lukewarm attitude toward AI technology, which is weakly related to the AI investment bubble. It reflects a pragmatic demand for AI applications but does not involve specific investment figures or capital flows, so its reference value for bubble assessment is limited.
