One of the fashion companies, Anthropic, reported this Monday that it confidentially filed its initial public offering (IPO) prospectus with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), laying the groundwork for a possible historic stock sale aimed at investors willing to bet on artificial intelligence (AI). This could happen this coming fall.

“We are at a decisive moment. We must go further than autonomy, and instead move towards sovereignty.” This was expressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, on the occasion of the first day of the Annual Meeting of the Cercle d’Economia. According to Albares, “Europeans must guarantee security in a broad sense, and for that a federal leap is needed. It is not ideas that we lack, but the will to put them into practice. We must remove the obstacles in the internal market, particularly the capital market, and ensure it finances innovation in Europe, so that it is not in the hands of foreign companies.”

The Ministry of Finance has set to work to begin holding bilateral meetings with the autonomous communities (and cities) to address the reform of regional financing. The department has reported that this Monday it sent letters to the ministries of the common regime communities, as well as Ceuta and Melilla, with the aim of arranging dates.

President Salvador Illa has put on the table 3.3 billion euros in infrastructure investments at the start of the 41st edition of the Annual Meeting of the Cercle d’Economia, which began this afternoon in Barcelona. The investment will be through a public-private collaboration mechanism, the president explained at the inauguration of the traditional sessions that were previously held on the Costa Brava and now in Barcelona. Last February, the Government already said it would survey the market to see if there was interest in recovering concessions for road networks and metro stations.
