This is such bullshit. There are three principle reasons why the EU does not grow as many tech giants: 1. Venture capital is hard to cone by in the EU, 2. The language barriers and 3. The not-quite-finished-single market, with many countries not aligning their laws to the EU framework. 1 and 3 are actively being addressed and 2 is a disappearing issue as the younger generations aee all fluent in English.
To your point however, innovation has always been one of the strong suits of the European continent, much more so than monetization which is not a synonym.
I'm not going to argue the point. I will say however, that I am eagerly awaiting the smartphone from the EU. I don't recall if Finland is in the EU or not. I think they joined at the start of the Ukrainian crisis. Or maybe not. I'm not sure. I know they have Nokia and Nokia has done some interesting things. There's also Jolla, I think out of Sweden. I'm not ignorant to what currently exists, at least not completely. And I generally like the things the EU does. But if they can't produce a tech company that can exist under their bureaucracy, I think that says a lot about how much they should extend to American companies.
