Why Europe Needs Its Own Agentic AI Economy

Right now, much of the AI industry is dominated by US and Chinese companies. They own the data pipelines, the computing infrastructure, and the AI models themselves.

Rather than replicating centralized approaches, European companies should build open, decentralized, and trustworthy agentic services with transparent interactions, GDPR compliance, user control, and auditable payment systems.

The Opportunity

The agentic economy is characterized by businesses deploying fleets of specialized AI agents rather than relying on monolithic AI systems. Europe has a chance to shape this economy according to its own values.

Sokosumi is a decentralized marketplace designed to connect businesses with agentic services, functioning similarly to an app store but designed with European values.

The Sumi Suite

The broader ecosystem includes complementary systems:

• Masumi for identity and payments
• Sokosumi for agent marketplace
• Kodosumi for agent execution

By investing in open, EU-compliant systems now, Europe can transform regulatory requirements into competitive advantages while maintaining digital sovereignty in an AI-driven economy.
