Shortly before the investment summit in Berlin, Nvidia boss Jensen Huang delivered a sharp slap in the face to Germany. He said it pains him to see how far this economically advanced country has fallen behind. And the 63-year-old CEO of the world's most valuable company gave what he sees as left-behind Germany some blunt advice: "Just get to work!" ("Just get on with your work!")
Yet Jensen Huang evidently still believes in Germany, because at a fireside chat with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, a crucial AI deal was agreed, according to media reports. As first reported by Handelsblatt, the federal government intends to contribute a nine-figure sum in euros to the cooperation.
