The trouble with digital investment – and how to fix it
What would it take for “good” digital investment to become as recognisable a category as green or ethical finance? And why do good intentions so often don’t survive contact with venture capital?

Survey finds that 86% of Europeans think a sudden US move to restrict EU access to digital services is "plausible" and "shouldn’t be ruled out," and 59% called it “already a real and concrete risk.”

Another case of European public opinion being ahead of its leaders.
