The UK and Germany just opened a tech corridor — 180 London jobs and a €20 million (about $23 million) quantum fund

During the Prime Minister's visit to Berlin, Britain and Germany opened their first-ever industrial tech corridor — backed by heavyweights like Allianz, Bosch, RWE, and Siemens. Munich robotics firm MicroAGI will expand in London, creating 180 high-paid jobs; fusion startup Proxima Fusion could quadruple its Culham workforce by 2028; and the two countries will share a €20 million (about $23 million) joint quantum research fund. Two old allies, betting together on the industries of the next decade.
