How would you describe the European market and the types of opportunities that are like erupting from companies domiciled in Europe? I mean, listen, I have to say this, being based in Berlin, it's the promised land, you know, like it's the single, you know, I think most interesting region in the world right now and has been for a while. I think Europe has so much to offer, not just from a talent perspective, but also from a cultural perspective. We have so many different perspectives. We have amazing universities.

I know that's changing more and more, and that's something that we are quite concerned about. And that's also part of the reason for why we're doing this job is we want to make sure that, you know, that 2, 3, 4 out of the 10 biggest companies in the world are European companies and companies with European DNA. Doesn't come without its challenges. You know, very often Europe is seen as the land of regulation much more than the land of opportunity.
