I once paid a few thousand EUR for a notary to attest that my name and my company’s director’s name are both the name of the same person.

And my accountant knows a notary who knows a pension expert who knows investment broker. All making money from laws that make no sense.

Sunday chill day 😊

One of the very few things I would wake up so early on a Friday morning for: German Marshall Fund #BrusselsForum ! Kicking off the day with a discussion on “a year of action in digital policy”.

An excellent couple of days in Belfast with some phenomenal techUK members. Check out what we’ve been up to in Northern Ireland and if you are a techUK member, keep an eye out for our next international delegations. Paris & Washington DC are up next!

I’m just surprised the anti-vaxxers took this long to jump on the conspiracy theory train #KateGate

Dear Elon Musk,
In Belgium, racism is not an opinion. It is a crime. Rightfully, so.

Freedom of speech ends where hate begins. So simple is that.

To close off #TechPolicy2024 we looked into the “tiny” topics of trade and the geopolitics of tech.

Luckily, I had the best panel to make sense of the world and Britain’s role in it.

Thanks David Lidington Kati Suominen Sam Sharps George Riddell!
