Stanford University – Engineering School
European Entrepreneurship & Innovation
Wim De Waele, CEO iMinds

The European Challenge
But for real results,
Europe will have to wait
for an entrepreneurial
culture like Silicon
Valley’s.
The beginnings of such
a culture have taken
root in recent years.
Economist Feb 2011
