    Abstract

    There is evidence of human habitation from around 11,000 BC. Remnants of a ‘comb’ pottery culture from 5000 BC show the arrival of the ancestors of the Eestii, one of the first known peoples to inhabit the Baltic’s eastern shores and the forerunners of modern Estonians. Before the arrival of Christianity, animism was widespread and the cult of Tharapita (or Taara), a god of war, was popular in northern Estonia and the island of Saaremaa.

    Vincent Van Quickenborne

    Minister of Economy and Reform, Belgium

     

    Vincent Van Quickenborne (37) likes to keep and make things simple. That’s why you can simply call him “Q”. “Senator Q” stormed into national politics nine years ago. At that time, he was 25 and the youngest senator. As Secretary of State for Administrative Reform, he turned Belgium into the 3rd easiest country to start a business in (Doing Business 2008, World Bank). Today, he is Minister of Economy and Reform. He wants to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in everyone and to cut down red tape. In 2010 he was selected as “Young Global Leader” by the World Economic Forum.

    Born in Gent in 1973, he studied at Sint-Barbara College Gent, Belgium in 1991 and studied Law at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium in 1995. He was previously a Senator from 1999 to 2003, a Member of the National Bureau of Open Vld (Flemish Liberal Party) since 2002 and the Secretary of State for Administrative Reform, attached to the Prime Minister from 2003 to 2007.
