EU countries team up for semiconductor push

While those are fair points about the origin of Silicon Valley, the picture today is pretty different.

And there's a huge difference in values. The American ethos is "you're free to do great things, if you can". The European ethos is "You need the state to protect you from everything and you shouldn't try to be different or independent"

It sounds like what this initiative is doing is Europe trying to create a Silicon Valley (probably far from the first time), not sustain it indefinitely. They have to learn to crawl before they run. So the focus on origins is valid.
