Recognizing this massive potential, major tech leaders, including Meta, Amazon, Alphabet, and Microsoft, along with venture capital firms, are also increasingly investing in the Artificial Intelligence market. We are excited to partner with Global X ETFs Europe to introduce this revolutionary strategy to the European market.”
