Blogging from CEBIT - Hoofdinhoud

I spent a very interesting morning with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Polish Premier Donald Tusk. We toured CeBIT 2013 in Hannover looking at a range of - often German - companies and initiatives (Software AG, T-Mobile, SAP, Fraunhofer and so on).

The Chancellor and I are very keen to do more to push start -ups, to create better enabling conditions for them. And we are both worried about the digital ICT skills gap in Europe.

There is more to come on these points, but it looks like our Grand Coalition on Digital Skills and Jobs could not have come at a better time.
