@paul @Mastodon @sovtechfund Because I am completely unfamiliar with what the institution is, hence my question. I do know of a Saudi Arabian fund that is referred to as "sovereign" and that concerned me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Investment_Fund So your response assumes I have knowledge of which fund, which I did not.

@jonasgraphie @r10s @Mastodon @sovtechfund Thank you. The name made me thing of another institution from another country whose ethos I have serious concerns about.
German government support is a good thing and hopefully serves as an example for my country, the United States which, regrettably, has sunk to a new low.
