00:00Je suis venu à France pour plus de 20 ans, au moins une fois par an, et à voir la transformation de l'entreprise de la technologie française est incroyable.
00:08Juste quelques années, il y avait seulement deux unicorns.
00:11Maintenant, il y a presque 30 ou so unicorns dans France, mais aussi un décacorn.
00:18Donc, la communauté de technologie française n'est pas seulement en size, mais en nombre d'entrepreneurs, de start-ups, de excitement.
00:26The fact that France actually is such a sensuous culture, the five senses, you know, the visual of fashion and art, the taste with restaurants and wine and food, the beauty you see with the music and the culture is very, very colorful and sense-driven.
00:42And you combine that with the brilliance of the engineering schools and the creativity and entrepreneur, a French word, and you have a wonderful combination that produces many, many innovative companies.
00:54In Europe, there are many, many rules and regulations that do not encourage innovation, and it's not helpful, especially to start-ups, to have to follow all these many different rules.
01:05And that's a disadvantage compared to the United States, where innovation is favored, where you do not have to ask the government for permission to innovate and introduce a new product.
01:14And the investment community, there needs to be more investment, a tax structure which favors innovation and risk and investment, rather than one which discourages it, is very helpful to getting more innovation.
01:28My understanding is that actually already the French pay more taxes, a higher percentage than almost any developed country.
01:35But what we do in the United States is we encourage creativity and innovation and investment, which means you must provide a return.
01:44And there's some experimentation in different states.
01:47The states that tax the richest people, they lose people.
01:50The states that encourage, for example, investment and say, if you invest in our state and you get a return and we will tax it very low, they get more investments.
01:58Well, CES is the largest innovation event in the world.
02:02It's where the world of innovation comes, with most over one-third people coming from outside the United States.
02:08And we'll have several thousand exhibitors with stands showing new innovative products.
02:13But, of course, artificial intelligence is probably the prevailing dominant theme because there's so much happening so quickly, which is helping productivity.
02:21It's helping transportation, it's helping every aspect of life, agriculture, food production, clean air, clean water, health care is absolutely huge there as well.
02:31And we will have so many different areas of life that the United Nations works with us to promote fundamental human securities, access to clean air, clean water, food, health care, community.
02:42And these are all being answered through artificial intelligence.
02:45And when we have debates, as we have in France, over tax policy and everything else, it's also a debate because what people don't talk about is the largest expenditures now, for example, that are tough to control are in health care.
02:58Well, artificial intelligence and health care technology will provide solutions which are more effective, lower cost, do not require the tremendous number of skilled people in health care that we have and we lack all around the world.
03:12We'll have over 1,200 different great speakers, but on a big keynote center stage at the Las Vegas sphere, we will have the CEO of Lenovo, plus we will have as well the CEO of AMD, the great American chip company, Lisa Su, Dr. Lisa Su.
03:30And we have many more announcements coming in the days.
03:32Just check our website, ces.tech, and make sure you register early.
03:36It's not open to the public, but anyone who's connected to the world of technology is welcome and encouraged to attend.
