@frank_lunchbox @deepseek_ai China definitely has excellent universities, but data shows that Chinese students make up a significant portion of the foreign student population. They're known for their strong work ethic and intelligence. 2024 data: UK 108,582, EU approx. 300,000, and the US 277,398.

@ChristophCrepaz @deepseek_ai So now Europe and USA get to take credit for the Chinese top talent?

DeepSeek AI @deepseek_ai is making waves. Once again, China demonstrates the remarkable capabilities of its scientists, developers, and business leaders. This success is powered by educating top talent at leading universities in Europe and the US,

and investing billions into cutting-edge companies. But this raises a critical question: Are you prepared to use DeepSeek AI and, in doing so, contribute and transfer even more data and knowledge to China? What are your thoughts? trend.at/invest/ki-aus-…

🌍 Attended the Scottish Global Dialogues @BeyondBorders__ with Martin Griffiths today. His insights on conflicts and the urgent need to support 300 million people in crisis were deeply impactful. It's shocking how humanitarian needs are overlooked while defense spending soars.💔

What’s always a part of business with me is a deep connection to the arts. During Bundesminister Martin Kocher's visit to Scotland, one evening had to be dedicated to music. Huge thanks to Francesca Hegyi @edintfest for the warm welcome. We loved São Paulo Symphony Orchestra.

Visited the National Robotarium with Bundesminister Martin Kocher, Ambassador Bernhard Wrabetz, Trade Commissioner Michael Müller, and Benedikt Charvat. Big thanks to Julian Jones and COO Steve Maclaren for the tour and insights. Exciting to see such innovative robotics research.

It was a pleasure meeting the Evolt @SWARCO_Charging management team and gaining insights into the crucial role Evolt is playing in advancing e-mobility in Scotland and beyond. Congratulations for leading the charge in this vital industry. #eMobility #Sustainability #Innovation

I had the pleasure of visiting Glenkinchie Distillery with Bundesminister Martin Kocher, Ambassador Bernhard Wrabetz, Trade Commissioner Michael Müller, and Benedikt Charvat. Thanks to Provost @mcmillwynd for his insights on East Lothian's economic strengths and opportunities.

Good to meet with Austrian Minister for Labour and Economy Martin Kocher and Ambassador Bernhard Wrabetz in Edinburgh to strengthen and expand Scottish connections with Austria. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇹🇪🇺
