What? No, that won't happen, at least not in the next 100 years. Europe is just too far behind, technologically.

In a sense Europe isn't really behind, there is lots of know how, research and small-ish companies in the software and hardware space.

There is no Google or Apple or Microsoft though, and accordingly a lot of the network effects and institutional knowledge is lacking.

I do very much concur that there is no European competition for US IT supremacy on the horizon any time in the next decades.

China is a different story...

With researchers that are from European background, with geopolitics forcing an end into globalization, things will slowly turn into another way.

A laughable statement. Who was it again that was pleading on their knees to reserve ASML capacity for them?
