We work to prepare Europe for transformative AI: resilient to its risks, equipped to shape it, and able to share its benefits.
We work across three connected areas: making AI progress more governable, preserving strategic access, and ensuring advanced AI translates into public value.
Explore Our Research01
Reducing systemic vulnerability
Advanced AI is developing faster than reactive governance can manage.
We work on the institutions, incentives, and defensive capabilities needed to make AI progress more resilient, robust, and governable.
02
Building strategic agency
Europe’s ability to shape advanced AI depends on maintaining reliable access to the capabilities and infrastructure that matter.
We work on compute strategy, strategic technology dependencies, and the leverage points that allow Europe to remain capable, relevant, and hard to bypass.
03
Converting capability into societal progress
Advanced AI only delivers broad progress if institutions clear the bottlenecks holding innovation back.
We work on science funding, R&D architecture, regulation, and state capacity to turn capability into public value.
Arq is a Brussels-based think tank focused on preparing Europe and the world for transformative AI.
Learn More About UsWe are a Brussels-based foundation working at the intersection of frontier AI, geopolitics, and European state capacity.
We combine technical understanding of frontier AI with deep knowledge of governance to support policymakers through analysis, policy design, strategic convening, and direct engagement.
Our team has advised senior policymakers, contributed to several European AI strategies, and produced research cited in official EU documents.
