Episode Info: This is a special episode for VivaTech 2019, Europe's biggest technology conference. You'll hear me talk with 5 of the best voice startups I came across, plus my interview with the communication manager of Google France, where we discuss the new assistant features announced at Google I/O 2019, as well as the new version of Google Duplex for the Web. As a bonus, I also bring you two presentations. In the first, President Emmanuel Macron fields questions from a panel of successful European startup founders concerning the big issues in the European startup scene. After listening, you will better understand the European mindset and the strategies that Europe hopes to employ in order to try and compete with the US and China.Finally, you'll hear an inspirational talk from Jack Ma, the billionaire founder of the Alibaba group. Currently on the verge of retirement, he reflects on his successes and failures, and shares his advice for would-be founders. I hope you enjoy the conversations, and look forward to talking with you too at a future event! This is a time-limited preview.
