Freepik Ranks 11th in Global AI App List by Andreessen Horow

Freepik, a startup from Malaga, Spain, has been recognized as the 11th most used AI application globally in a ranking compiled by Andreessen Horowitz. This list considers unique monthly visits as a key metric, highlighting Freepik as the only European representative in the top tier, amidst a landscape dominated by US companies such as ChatGPT and Gemini, among others.

The emergence of Freepik in this ranking indicates a growing recognition of European AI applications on a global scale. However, the overall dominance of US tech in the AI sector raises concerns about dependency on foreign technologies. As Europe seeks to boost its innovation ecosystem, the success of Freepik represents both a positive development and a challenge in achieving full data sovereignty and national AI autonomy in the face of stronger competitors from across the Atlantic.
