We are English speaking—the language of the Internet; we have high level management skills, a good business infrastructure 1, flexible labour market, stable politics I and excellent tax regime. And so this is why I say to you. If you are looking to invest in Europe, particularly in ICT, invest in Britain. Our two countries—with our great histories and our tremendous strengths—are natural partners.
