chair: are you sure the #DMA is going to solve this? Verena Pausder, Chair, German Startup Association
I can't promise but it is a sword and we need to use it. Startups aren't always talking about regulation but we all want this.
She also wants regulation to get some of the $300B/year invested into German pensions (incl. by me!) to go into VC, some fraction of a percent is now. Easily fixable without too much risk! #digitalSovereignty
Open source is an illusion without infrastructure.
