The useful read country vs country

┌─ generated from funding, org, model, compute, and overlap signals ─────────────────────────────── ┐

Germany leads on AI funding; Canada leads on operational compute.

Canada's biggest carrier is Cohere: $1.6B (35.6% of tracked side funding). Germany's biggest carrier is Helsing: $1.6B (29.2% of tracked side funding).

The org treemap is shown because both sides have enough funded orgs for area to mean something.

Funding is HQ-based and limited to AI-native orgs. Compute is counted by datacenter location, so it can disagree with headquarters funding.

note — Germany runs 1.2× more AI capital than Canada. Whether that translates to frontier compute is what the next chart shows.
