Axelle lemaire biography of donald

Axelle Lemaire, the French minister responsible for her country’s digital affairs, visited the Estonian capital as a guest of the Tallinn e-Governance Conference, and discussed with Estonian World the entrepreneurship and startup culture in respective countries and what could a large country like France pick up from Estonia.

The Estonian ICT Week, taking place in late May/early June, brought hundreds of global tech luminaries and cyber experts to the Estonian capital, truly underlining once again the fact that the country has become a sort of magnet for those interested in digital society and innovation.

One of the high-profile guests was Axelle Lemaire, an energetic and youthful French politician who currently serves as a Secretary of State in the French government, responsible for digital affairs. Lemaire participated in the Tallinn e-Governance Conference, which focused on the impact of e-governance on the economy and society. representatives of the public and private sectors from more than 50 countries attended the two-day conference.

Lemaire, who has always had a global approach – she was born in Quebec, Canada, studied in France and then lived twelve years in London, before relocating to Paris and embarking on a political career – had many good words to say about Estonia.

“If you would have asked me ten years ago, I would have said that Estonia is a country where companies will go to manufacture because of cheap labour. But now, when politicians think of Estonia in France, they think of it as ‘e-Estonia’. This is a sign of success because it means we are open for collaboration,” Lemaire said, fresh from discussing the open data with president Toomas Hendrik Ilves.

While en route to visit one of the many local startups, Lemaire discussed with Estonian World the entrepreneurship and startup culture in respective countries and what could a large country like France pick up from Estonia. “I think we can still learn from the entrepreneurial spirit that we

Extended Summary

In this episode of Lokad TV, host Kieran Chandler interviews Axelle Lemaire, former Minister for Digital Affairs under François Hollande’s government and current Global Head of Terra Numerata,

France's digital minister Axelle Lemaire is on a crusade at the moment, travelling around the world trying to encourage startups and established technology companies to relocate or expand to France.

Lemaire is in Las Vegas this week for CES, and she spoke last year at TechCrunch Disrupt London. Her appearance in London was especially interesting as a number of startups are considering moving out of the UK after the result of the EU referendum.

The tech world overwhelmingly supported remaining in the EU. One poll found that 87% of respondents who work in tech wanted to remain.

Business Insider interviewed Lemaire about the outcome of the EU referendum, and why she feels that France is the perfect place for technology companies.

This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.

Business Insider: How many British startups have made enquiries about moving to France?

Axelle Lemaire: Many companies have already been in touch although I think many more will come in the forthcoming months when the timetable for Brexit becomes clearer.

In any case, whether they plan to leave now or have yet to decide, I've noticed an increased interest in the French ecosystem from British fintech companies. Whatever happens with Brexit, many startups find and continue to find France an attractive place to do business. If and when the UK leaves the single market, British startups will want to keep open access to the EU market: They will either leave the UK or at least develop their activities on both sides of the channel.

Altogether, what strikes me is the renewed interest that international investors show for France, partly but not only linked to the uncertainties created by Brexit. While investments in British startups plummeted in , amounts invested in French tech have soared, increasing by 71% in January through September in In

Examining the four key points from Cameron's letter

If the demands are met, Mr Cameron said "I am ready to campaign with all my heart and soul to keep Britain inside a reformed European Union".

At a press conference on Tuesday, he hit back at claims by former Tory Chancellor Lord Lawson that the four goals were "disappointingly unambitious", saying they reflected what the British people wanted and would be "good for Britain and good for the European Union".

"It is mission possible and it is going to take a lot of hard work to get there," said the prime minister.

But his demands were met with ridicule by some Conservative Eurosceptics, with backbencher Bernard Jenkin stunning MPs by saying: "Is that it?"

Former Tory cabinet minister John Redwood said Mr Cameron should be asking for "much more" and there was nothing in Mr Cameron's speech to suggest Britain would get "anything like the protection we need" from European laws.

"It's about more than borders and migration," he added, "it's about who governs".
