many fuzzy things wrapped in a taco:
- having a French silicon valley (I believe attempts have been done before but failed)
- jump on the wave of smart iot app fad
- leverage the previous thing for (probably super bad) software education
- Macron seems to be in the self-made man (with state support if you're positive minded) so reviving a liberal entrepreneurship model fits his views
