Is it a coincidence that the European Commission and Germany have invested billions of euros in and around the AMD facilities in Dresden under the guise of “public projects� in an attempt to create a new silicon valley?

Is it a coincidence that the European Commission and Germany have invested billions of euros in and around the AMD facilities in Dresden under the guise of so-called public projects in an attempt to create a new silicon valley? And by the way, this effort is not working.

European Commission VP Wallstrom (Sweden): you should be ashamed. Oh, by the way, VP Wallstrom, when will you eliminate the State owned monopolies in Sweden? Are they not unfair and stifling competition?
