The tech.eu Podcast is a show in which we discuss some of the most interesting stories from the European technology scene and interview leading entrepreneurs and investors from across the region.
This week, we talk about some of the biggest stories in European tech from the past week, including Apple’s victory against the EU in its fight against a $14.8 billion back-tax bill in Ireland, the invalidation of the Privacy Shield and more. Later in the show, you’ll hear an interview from our own Andrii Degeler with Oscar Werner, the CEO of Stockholm, Sweden-based cloud communications platform company Sinch.
Also, on this very day exactly 5 years ago, we published our first podcast! We hope you've been enjoying it at least as much as we have making them - and we'll continue to do so.
