If you’re an entrepreneur, investor, or tech enthusiast looking to stay updated on the most crucial industry news, this episode is packed with key insights. Key Highlights: Intel Pauses €30 Billion Chip Factory Project One of the biggest tech stories of September is Intel's decision to halt its €30 billion chip factory project in Magdeburg, Germany.

Despite facing sector volatility with its valuation dropping below $1 billion, Flink is making significant moves in its quest for profitability. Backed by investors like BOND and REWE, the company aims to launch new hubs across Europe. We explore what this means for the quick-commerce sector and why Flink's expansion strategy could define its success. Northvolt Faces Financial Troubles Amid Auto Industry Challenges Swedish battery maker Northvolt is grappling with financial hurdles as it faces trouble with major automotive partners like Volkswagen.
