RAISE Summit wrapped up, and Paris did not disappoint. Standing in the middle of an AI summit in this city — the architecture, the history, the sheer weight of the place — and talking about agents shipping real software felt like two worlds meeting. That contrast is exactly why this trip mattered. This is Qoder's European debut. But honestly, the debut is the smaller story. The bigger one is getting to sit inside the French and European AI ecosystem and actually listen to what they really want from Asian AI, just including Qoder, Qwen. A few things I'm taking home: Europe isn't behind on AI — it's asking a different set of questions. Less "which model is biggest," more "how does this hold up under real governance, real accountability." That's a conversation I want to be in. The founders and operators here think in decades, not quarters. Refreshing after a year of noise.And the appetite for tools that actually ship production software — not demos — is very real. This trip settled something for us: Europe isn't a one-off stop on the map. We're coming back, and soon. There's a real market to build here, and the right way to build it is in person, in the room, listening first. To everyone I met at RAISE — the founders, the builders, the people who grabbed twenty minutes between sessions — thank you. This was the start of something, not the end of a tour.
