I am curious how this will turn out. Germany is not known for state driven digital innovation and this is a huge project.
Even though I am highly sceptic, I hope they finally manage to get something going because Germany and whole Europe needs more independence from US hyperscalers.
I fear this will die in good old German bureaucracy though.
Actually, IBM and Germany have a long history of state driven digital innovation ...

Long history would imply continuity, not "so long ago that nobody in the comment section is old enough to have lived through it".
