Palantir should be completely banned from any EU government contracts. We cannot keep handing over our most core systems and data to non-EU entities, especially given the US’s adversarial stance towards EU.
We have plenty of talent here to build stuff ourselves, and frequently do.
If I’m honest I’d guess lobbying and/or trade deals where we often agree to buy smth from the US.
A recent one is NHS (UK healthcare system) and Palantir, which makes no sense to hand over core medical data to an outsider. That seemed a clear lobbying case.
Is it just because it is (or was) more cost effective? I mean EU has tons of talent, so it's hard for me to believe it's a lack of resources
Maybe it is too costly or too difficult to start up in the EU?
I haven't done too much research myself. I don't know the stories of anyone who tried to compete against palantir/google/boeing/etc
