Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

@nytimes.com really?!! Weβre talking about a continent of 1.5 billion people.
#USAID does lots of important work & Trumpβs actions will have devastating effects for many people across the world, but this headline is so completely ridiculous.

The #EU has much to learn from #India's experiences (& #Brazilβs). But the EU should also develop its own more holistic vision of #digital infrastructure. This could open the door to build comprehensive strategic partnerships, based on the mutually shared objective of greater #TechnologySovereignty

India has built an impressive digital public infrastructure ( #DPI) made up of universal #digitalID, #digitalpayments, #data exchange layer & e-commerce platform, jointly referred to as #IndiaStack

Our new paper calls for the #EU to develop the #EuroStack of sovereign digital infrastructure & embrace it in its foreign, trade & cooperation policy. This would build on, but move beyond the #BrusselsEffect & its focus on governance alone

#Democracy dies in darkness⦠or when taken over by tech billionaires!
