- Overall he was impressive; he seemed to actually understand the subject and it was far more than just slogans.
- There are real projects underway. It was interesting that the initiatives that he talked about were all infrastructure based. The government has obviously decided that its role is infrastructure and its sticking to it.
- The digital blueprint for France was used as a model for the rest of Europe!!! Look what the GSM standard did for mobile in Europe.
- The crisis is a chance to revolutionize education (and again he talked about infrastructure).
Note: Not sure how many people in the room actually understood that a French minister is not allowed to express himself in English because of the risk of translation error/issues.
Note: They need professional translators next time!!!
