TACKLING THE DECLINE

There are many reasons for the decline of Europe in technology:

we act too slowly and focus on national concerns. There is a lack of venture capital for start-ups. The regulations on data protection make us vulnerable to spying from overseas. And, fatally, the population is still not really aware of the effects of the digital revolution.
This book shows the steps Europe urgently needs to take to whip our continent back into shape when it comes to technology. We need a digital single market which, entirely as a side effect, will also finally increase the weak sense of a shared European identity.
“Helmut Fallmann is not only a successful IT entrepreneur, he is also a progressive thinker about the opportunities of digitisation for Europe. He anchors European data protection as a cornerstone of his vision for a digital economy and society that sets an example for the whole world. Everyone who cares about the future of Europe should read this book.” Jan Philipp Albrecht, Member of the European Parliament
“The powerful IT industry is just whispering. Finally a prominent IT entrepreneur is breaking the silence. Fallmann‘s warnings and visions are a sensation. The most important book for Europe’s entrepreneurs on the market at the moment.” Prof. Helmut A. Gansterer, trend essayist, author
