What does #techsovereignty really mean for Europe? It’s not simply about where infrastructure sits or where its hardware is made. As this @becategorical blog explains it’s about who controls the technology, the data and the operations tinyurl.com/5yc7ey2c
Tech sovereignty does not inherently exist in technology or location. It’s a complex mix of power, politics, law, ownership & innovation. In this episode, of @DiffereEngine #tech #strategy #podcast @pmaher & I explore what really shapes it in an increasingly connected world.

In the latest episode of @DiffereEngine tech strategy #podcast, @pmaher I ask are the AI #datacentre #NIMBYs a useful protector of all our freedoms or just Luddites holding back the new industrial revolution?

Europe was once a mosaic of grassland, scrub and woodland, shaped by large herbivores that disappeared long ago.
My latest guest on Rewilding the World, Frans Schepers from Rewilding Europe, explains why it’s important to bring this diversity of landscapes back. Not least to help us to protect against the threat of wildfires that have raged across Europe this summer.
