Victor Solé Ferioli

Solé Ferioli worked as a parliamentary assistant for seven years before moving into consultancy and building Beresol, a Brussels EU affairs firm. He launched Brubru under Beresol to bring AI tooling to lobbyists, trade associations, law firms, and NGOs operating across the European institutions.

He leads product and direction at Brubru, including legislative analysis tooling, an Akoma Ntoso amendment editor, vote prediction, and compliance workflows for EU public affairs teams.

Insights & takeaways

Solé Ferioli views AI development through the lens of applied infrastructure and multilingual accessibility rather than speculative futures. His concrete focus centers on agent-based AI systems—chatbots, monitoring platforms, legal databases—deployed across actual EU contexts . He builds products like Brubru and Massimino specifically to serve professionals operating across multiple European languages and regulatory zones, treating language parity not as a feature but as foundational . This includes translating EU legal texts into Catalan "because 10 million Catalan speakers deserve access to EU law in their language" .

His political economy view is skeptical of European capacity relative to American models. He observes that SpaceX's success stems from risk tolerance and financial reward that "in the EU a company like SpaceX would" struggle to achieve, though the sentence remains incomplete . Yet rather than calling for deregulation, he tracks EU legal evolution closely—noting the AI Act itself has been substantially revised barely two years after passage —and engages with EU governance constraints as structural facts requiring adaptation rather than obstacles to overcome.

On labor and corporate structure, Solé Ferioli supports stronger worker protections within EU regulatory harmonization. He affirmed the European Parliament Employment Committee's position that worker rights should follow employees' actual location, not corporate registration, and that "an EU Inc. registered in one Member State cannot avoid stronger worker participation rules elsewhere" . He frames this not as anti-business but as essential to preventing "social dumping" .

Infrastructure sustainability appears as his lens on EU AI competitiveness. Europe's AI future depends on tripling data center capacity within five to seven years, yet "Europe does not have a reliable map of its own data centres," creating a baseline problem before any policy can function effectively . His recurring stance combines operational specificity with skepticism toward grand claims—including a philosophical caution about anthropomorphizing AI systems that he frames through classical Greek conceptual frameworks .
