European center-left, tech-focused
The Next Web (TNW) is an Amsterdam-based technology news outlet founded in 2006, now owned by Tekpon after being sold by the Financial Times in late 2025. It covers global tech industry news with a particular focus on the European startup ecosystem and digital policy. Its coverage of the Trump administration centers on tech and AI policy, typically framed with skepticism about U.S. dominance over European digital markets and civil liberties.
