I admit that I fibbed a little two years ago when I wrote that the next few years in Switzerland and politics would decide for me personally whether I would stay here or emigrate to a foreign “start-up valley”. In reality, the matter was actually clear to me – I was going to leave. Artikel…
A petition initiated by the Bundesverband Deutsche Startups e.V. is calling on the party leaders of the CDU, CSU and SPD to appoint a digital minister. I think that is well-intentioned.
