France to Big Tech: We’re just not that into you

Episode 1101This week on Tech Radio, we dive into France’s bold decision to "decouple" from American tech giants like Microsoft and Cisco. We explore whether Europe can truly rebuild its own tech ecosystem or if the continent is simply suffering from a 30-year "tech lag."We also dissect the controversial shifts at TikTok following its US sale, the "cyber-murder" tactics targeting Poland’s energy grid, and why Amazon is letting go of another 16,000 employees despite a booming stock price.Plus, our guest Elaine Laird, Chief People Officer at Logitech, discusses the challenge of gender diversity in STEM. She shares insights on how inclusive design led to products like the Aurora collection and why her mission is to stop young girls from believing the "I'm not good at maths" myth.—----- Listen to Tech Radio now on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tech-radio-ireland/id256279328Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5vAWM1vvHbQKYE79dgCGY2YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TechRadioIrelandRSS - https://feeds.transistor.fm/techradio
