Tyto Tech 500: European highlights

The ninth edition of the Tyto Tech 500 reveals how Europe’s leading technology voices are evolving into “multi-hyphenate influencers” – figures whose influence spans roles and channels. From CEO-podcasters to journalist-YouTubers, they’re building personality-led platforms and commanding loyal audiences that rival traditional media for reach and impact.

  • Over half (51%) of journalists in the Tyto Tech 500 publish newsletters, a quarter edit blogs (25%), 16% have YouTube channels, and nearly 11% host podcasts.
  • Journalists (51%), Business leaders (19.4%), and Entrepreneurs (16.4%) are the three largest groups of technology influencers in the 2025 Tyto Tech 500.
  • Business leaders and entrepreneurs are stepping forward as influential voices, with nearly one in five (19%) publishing newsletters and 8% hosting podcasts alongside their corporate roles.

How are global voices shaping Europe’s technology ecosystem?

Conversations about technology have always crossed borders. This year, the Tyto Tech 500 explores how global voices are shaping Europe’s technology agenda.

The research shows that influential figures from the US and beyond are playing an increasingly decisive role in European debates on AI regulation, sustainability, and digital infrastructure.

These international perspectives are reshaping European policymaking, media narratives, and industry dialogue – amplified by digital platforms and AI-powered translation that accelerate the flow of ideas across continents.

The Tyto Tech 500 explores what this means for PR and communications leaders running multi-market programmes across Europe’s for B2B technology companies.
