Do you know Peter Sarlin? He is a Finnish entrepreneur who has a plan for where the Finnish economy should develop a competitive advantage. Specifically in the field of AI. Obvious. And worth considering.

“The story of these days is for me the story of the Finnish entrepreneur Peter Sarlin. Sarlin sold his start-up Silo AI to the chip giant AMD from the USA last summer. Now he is donating part of the sales proceeds and is financing 13 professorships for Artificial Intelligence for his country. He is likely to revolutionize the educational and research landscape of Finland in one fell swoop, without a mandate, without a big plan from politics, just like that.”

– Martin Knobbe, deputy editor-in-chief, in “What an entrepreneur from Finland teaches us”, editorial in Handelsblatt, 17., 18., 19. January 2025, page 5, no. 12
