As founders and investors gather at Slush this week, everyone is talking about EU.Inc - the campaign to create a single startup entity across the European Union.
Ville, thank you for this great post. There's a question I want to ask Europe's thought leaders, especially in the startup world, and if you don't mind, it would be an honour to start with you.
What personal transformation – in mindset and action – would save Europe if embraced by 10% of the population?
Thank you, that's a very clear answer and one that I personally resonate with.
I also have an optional and somewhat more lighthearted follow-up question (and I certainly understand if you have more urgent things to do): Whom, in your opinion, should I ask next?
All of this! Europe somehow manages to be less than the sum of its parts. That has to change!

Belief in technology. Seeing technology as our most powerful means to strengthen Europe instead of a threat to contain.
