Europe is about to make a decision that could shape where the next generation of #AI is built.
In my new @ECIPE #Insight, I explore why this is not just a legal debate about #copyright, but a strategic choice about Europe’s role in the global AI economy.

☁️ Cloud resilience isn't built through localisation mandates but through choice.

Just finished The Mindset of the #Tariff Man – smart, funny, and very timely with the EU–Mercosur debate. It shows how trade gets trapped in bureaucracy and fear, and why openness still matters for peace and prosperity. #Mercosur #Trade #TariffMan

This is satire with truth serum – Mancur Olson meets “Yes, Minister”, with real-world examples that will make you question every conference you’ve ever attended. And yes – it’s funny. But it’s also the most honest guide to how political power really works.

Cutting #bureaucracy in a #representative #democracy is close to impossible.
No politician dares to – out of decency, ignorance – or tangible self-interest. Not the left, not the right, not the political centre. That’s exactly what this book is about.

The EU can no longer hide behind a defensive crouch – not least because its own protectionist agenda has undermined its credibility. It should now lead by example and put forward a bold zero-for-zero #tariff initiative.

"Europe's digital transformation must be driven by a cloud-agnostic, market-driven approach, preventing bureaucratic delays and restrictive EU policies from hindering the modernisation of public services."

Without a clear, long-term strategy, European carmakers will continue to lose ground. Brussels cannot shield the industry from global competition, but it can stop making the problem worse. @ECIPE
