Iliana Ivanova, EU Commissioner for Innovation, shared her views on the development of technology and the digital economy in the European Union during the meeting in Davos. According to her, instead of the promised second Silicon Valley in the EU, we have ‘Death Valley’. This term perhaps best describes the EU’s poor position when it comes to scientific discoveries, innovations and new technologies.

The annual meeting of the rulers and owners of the world takes place in Davos. There, in a Swiss resort, at the invitation of the World Economic Forum (WEF), they think about how they can save humanity in this world and the planet. This is a place where census theories turn out to be true and billionaires tell millionaires how ordinary people should live and what they need.

The event usually says little about the state of the world itself, but rather about the plans of the powerful and influential on how to make the population more obedient and how to keep it even better under control. For her own good, of course.

Sometimes events occur that convey sincerity and truth. This year it would be a speech by Damon Imani, who said to the head of the WEF, who was sitting near the stage:

Fuck Klaus Schwab, fuck the New World Order. We, the people, were born free and we will remain free, and you and all your globalist friends, including those in this room, can go fuck themselves.

At these words, the German Schwab ran away from the stage.

Unfortunately, it was just a very funny but fake scene put together by a famous Iranian satirist, commentator and social media creator.

Unfortunately, the speech of the EU Commissioner for Innovation, Scientific Research, Culture, Education and Youth – as you can see, by the highly charged Bulgarian Iliana Ivanova – turned out to be true. Or perhaps fortunately, because the woman told the truth about the delays in discoveries, research and new technologies experienced by the largest organization in human history, the European Union.

Here in Europe we have the so-called “Death Valley”, where we supposedly have all these cool discoveries, but somehow can’t find a place on the market

the Eurocrat announced to the leaders of states, bosses and owners of the largest companies gathered in the room. She was of course referring to the promise to create in the EU a European equivalent of the American Silicon Valley, the largest center in the world for the introduction of new digital technologies. Maybe these discoveries aren’t so great after all because they can’t appear on the market.

The lack of money is the cause of the lack of European breakthrough discoveries or digital technologies. According to The EU is not investing enough in research and development

Over the past twenty years, we have consistently observed a funding gap of PLN 100 billion for European research and innovation compared to other countries (countries, regions).

Artificial intelligence versus natural dullness

But the EU has a way to make up for the delays and make new discoveries. The Bulgarian announced that the European Innovation Council has been established in the EU, which will allocate one billion euros to companies in strategic technologies. Furthermore, the European Commission is determined to put the EU at the forefront of artificial intelligence research. This should be taken to mean that the EU will become a leader in AI by issuing this, or by making a written or verbal announcement to, for example, President Ursula von der Leyen. She informed everyone in Davos that:

There are almost 200,000 in Europe. software engineers with experience in artificial intelligence. This is a greater concentration than in the United States and China.

This is the new frontier of competitiveness. Europe is well positioned to become a leader in industrial AI, the use of AI to transform critical infrastructure into smart and sustainable.”

These women – Bulgarian and German – don’t understand it at all. But no wonder they are Eurocrats after all. Like the rest of Brussels society, they believe that civil servants and politicians can plan scientific discoveries and the use of new technologies. That when they collect and distribute money from citizens, the recipients will soon invent and implement some fantastic technologies, and the EU will become the leader in artificial intelligence. It exudes a natural dullness.

Just give the Eurocrats more money and they will spend it well and even appoint a new Council – for example for innovation – with an appropriate fund. As if all new technologies, everything we now have in our computers, were invented in Silicon Valley with taxpayer money. No, these were private funds of free entrepreneurs, the power of the free market and competitiveness. Inventions and discoveries cannot be planned or decreed.

States and even international organizations have a role to play, especially when we deal with technologies that inherently cross borders – such as the Internet. The trick lies in the right proportions, the right dosage of regulations in economic freedom and combining this with the causal power of the state or investments in infrastructure. This is a separate consideration, but there is no doubt that it was not the White House nor the US federal or state administration that created Silicon Valley and all its inventions.

Another problem is the way companies operate in China and the system and level of primary education in the Middle Kingdom. By the way, we can think of the completely stupid and harmful ideas of the childish Minister of Education Nowacka to, among other things, limit teaching. in physics, chemistry, geography, biology to make life better for children and teachers.

Let’s leave it. There is no doubt that Europe, despite loudly announced projects and pompous displays, is completely losing the race to the United States and Asia in the race of inventions, discoveries and new technologies, especially digital ones. Nothing is being built in Europe. The EU – its countries don’t even produce computers (anyone else heard of the French Bull or the Italian Olivetti?), mobile phones, etc.

No global social media has emerged in the EU. However, Brussels is the first to introduce regulations for these media, i.e. censorship. And this is one of the symbols of the EU’s innovation. The second is the Human Brain Project, running since January 2013: a project to create a virtual brain, a map of the human brain. 11 years have passed, a billion euros have been spent, but there are no brains.
