> Where is EU's iPhone? Or Android? Or Windows? Or Intel? Or AWS? Or Office365? Or Google? Or ChatGPT? Or Xbox? Or Steam? Or Netflix? Or Nvidia? Or Micron? Or AMD?

Some examples of Eu based tech would be: Nokia killed by MS, an US company. Skype. SAP. ARM, UiPath, Bitdefender.

But is true, we are unable to compete with US on tech. Part of the reasons is that we don't have good startup ecosystem and hubs, we don't have tech hubs, we don't have tech investors, our tech and entrepreneurship culture might be lacking. But another part is that big US tech companies are monopolies and they are trying to stifle the competition and succeeding at it.

Both EU bureaucrats and each country's politicians don't care. No one does a single thing to try to improve the EU tech ecosystem.

It was when it was relevant. ARM right now is in shambles and outside of the EU, but for the majority of time the company existed it was in the EU.

having a monopoloy is good business. as long as you don't rest your laurels. all the big tech companies - microsoft, apple, google etc are monopolies in their own particular niches. as econ 101 says - perfect competition drives profits to zero. the thing that kills europe tech ecosystem is complacency. there's plenty enough smart people.
