It's a great opportunity for the rest of the world to stop leaning on American companies and American technology. It would be wonderful for a European and/or an Asian alternative to Android to emerge.

Sailfish OS claims to be mature and available for "corporate customers." I haven't seen any evidence past their own website, though.

The Russian government is using Sailfish in a big way. I heard the Russian post-office as well. There were negotiations with the Chinese government, but I assume that might have fallen through.

Jolla is not much B2C anymore, mostly B2B now.

What has stopped Europe from doing this already? What conditions in Europe have prevented more innovation when it comes to hardware and software development?
