The Dutch top 4 are:

- ASML. $250.35 B

- Prosus. $152.47 B

- Airbus. $109.20 B

- Heineken $65.26 B

Never heard of Prosus, but that's apparently a tech investment group.

ASML is of course a real tech innovator. I'm surprised to see Airbus listed as a Dutch company; isn't their HQ in France? Heineken is beer of course. Not terribly innovative, but a lot of people seem to like it anyway.

> Airbus's registered headquarters is in Leiden, Netherlands, but its head office is located in Toulouse, France. The 'SE' in its corporate name means it is a societas Europaea, which enables it to be registered as a European rather than a national corporation. Its shares are traded in France, Germany, and Spain. The company is led by CEO Guillaume Faury and is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.

Very surprised by that, I thought it was mostly French with some European contributions.
