I really hope it’s the case, so far we had so many wake up calls that are eventually just forgotten with nothing happening
I live in the UK, and as much as I love Europe as place to live, our future here looks very grim. Systematic problems multiplied to national inability to fund serious projects and cooperate at scale — this is a recipe for a disaster
It will not. We are unable.
Europe is too over regulated to produce anything meaningful. The overhead and red tape just drown most entrepreneurs.
Reversing that, what "meaningful" thing came of late, from lower regulated places? Germany specifically is hard at work on photon computing, just to bring an example. Switzerland is the global HQ for CRISPR.
Regulation is what enables production by setting clear ground rules.

The alternative is executive caprice and we're all seeing that play out right now.
