Good Luck.
CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of Google Larry Page has told European governments they need to be more like Silicon Valley. He said European leaders do not support technology companies enough. Silicon Valley is home to many of world's largest technology corporations. Google, Apple and Facebook have their headquarters there. Mr Page said Silicon Valley is great place for technology companies because it is easy to do business there. He told Britain's 'Financial Times' newspaper that Silicon Valley was great for investing in science and for making money by setting up new technology companies. He said Europe's politicians needed to start investing in big ideas.

Mr Page told Financial Times he had $62 billion that he wanted to invest in new ideas. He said he wanted to use money to benefit societies in Europe. He said: "We're trying to figure it out. How do we use all these resources  and have much more positive impact on world?" Page is not first business leader to attack Europe for being slow with investing in technology. Many experts say European schools do not teach enough technology, so children do not have skills that kids in Silicon Valley have. Many leaders in education believe there should be much bigger focus on technology in schools. Some think all elementary schools should have classes on coding for children.
