Met onder meer Brainport Eindhoven en een bedrijf als ASML is Nederland een vruchtbare bodem voor innovatie. Voeg daar de indrukwekkende Franse technologische capaciteit aan toe – met een AI-koploper als Mistral – en het is duidelijk wat onze landen technologisch gezien in huis hebben.   President Macron was vandaag in ons land op bezoek. Hij en ik zijn ervan overtuigd dat we als Europa ons enorme potentieel nog beter kunnen benutten, dat we als Europa een AI- en techreus kunnen en moeten worden. Dit betekent dat we die bedrijven, onderzoek, talent en industrie beter met elkaar gaan verbinden. Dat we investeringen aanjagen, zorgen voor betere regelgeving en een goede energie-infrastructuur. Zodat onze techbedrijven kunnen opschalen en excelleren. Frankrijk en Nederland doen dit niet alleen. We bundelen de komende tijd samen met andere Europese landen, zoals Duitsland, en de Europese Commissie de krachten met onze grote Europese techbedrijven. #Innovatie #Technologie #Europa
