> Why is there no European Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Google, Apple, Samsung, Amazon, Tencent, Sony etc? All the stuff is foreign, which means that we're constantly following foreign rules based on their culture. And slowly they have more become our rules and culture, because there were no real European alternatives. Philips (mostly Signify and co, but the brand is still Philips), Airbus (top 1 airplane manufacturer), VW Group, Stellantis, reMarkable, a ton of neobanks/fintechs the US could only dream of (Revolut, Monzo, N26, Bunq, Adyen to name but a few), Doctolib, Backmarket, Spotify (top music streaming platform in the world), Dassault Systemes (top industrial CAD), Amadeus (top 2 airline booking software), Booking.com, Ericsson (top 2 5G equipment provider), SAP (top 2 ERP provider), STMicro, NXP, Infineon (top semiconductor manufacturers for everything not on the cutting edge of personal/server computing), Zeiss (top 1 optics manufacturer), etc etc etc etc It's not that there are none, it's that the new ones (some of which are extremely good) haven't grown to super high valuations yet. |
