True that. We seem to struggle so to get all that power on the road for quite some time:
- TVs: Went first to Japan and then Korea then China
- Cameras: Went to japan
- MP3: Went to the US
- Cars: We totally missed the trend to EVs
- Big engineering projects: Pretty bad track record so far, e.g. the Berlin airport. German companies are still supplying components and sub-systems to these projects worldwide, but they are rarely the general contractor anymore.
It would be nice to see that being changed, but everything that is new tech just seems to be an unsurmountable obstacle for a lot of German companies and institutions.
