EU : Berlin - Germany - the "new Technology frontier" - a European Silicon valley replacement ?

Note EU-Digest: Investors seems to have lost their interest in Silicon valley and looking elsewhere, including the EU and in the US to put their money.

Last month roughly a dozen venture capitalists went on a three-day bus trip through the Midwest, with stops in Youngstown and Akron, Ohio; Detroit and Flint, Mich.; and South Bend, Ind. The trip, which took place on a luxury bus outfitted with a supply of vegan doughnuts and coal-infused kombucha, was known as the “Comeback Cities Tour.”

It was pitched as a kind of Rust Belt safari — a chance for Silicon Valley investors to meet local officials and look for promising start-ups in overlooked areas of the country.
