OMAHA What would it mean if the next Dropbox, which has reached nearly $2 billion in annual revenue since its founding in 2007, were based in Omaha?
âIt would be a huge signal for Nebraska,â said Erica Wassinger, a partner at Omahaâs Proven Ventures who has been involved in startups and venture funding here for a decade. âSeeing a company like Logica get looks from Silicon Valley means this isnât hidden flyover country.â
Logica, which has built next-generation business finance software, of course faces long odds to be so wildly successful, but it is at the trailhead of an extraordinarily rare path.
Bridging the political divides over industrial strategy
Date:Â 17/03/2021
The upcoming industrial strategy update needs to reconcile political differences over how the EU should approach strategic autonomy and open supply chains, as well as competition and greater state aid. The update must be open about the trade-offs involved, move past false dichotomies, and commit to distributing the associated costs and benefits fairly.
The Commission launched its Industrial Strategy on 10 March 2020, one day after Italy went into its first national lockdown. In the year since, the European economy has been wrecked by COVID-19, and industrial investment has plummeted. Pre-existing structural trends, whether it is digitalisation, growing regional inequalities, climate change, or rising foreign competition, have either continued unabated or have been accelerating. On 27 April, the Commission is expected to update its industrial strategy to respond to these disruptions.Â
