Europe has done this before. Airbus did not exist but now it is the best aircraft maker since Boeing decided to retire all their senior engineers in favor of quick profits. Europe created Airbus, they can do the same with a new Cloud provider.

This presumes that today’s Europe is comparable to the one ca. 60 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Airbus#1970%E2%80...

(I’m not disputing the chances, just the logic of the analogy with Airbus.)

Don't forget Boeing moved their headquarters and leadership to DC. Making the widgets is just the inconvenient part management doesn't really care about/need to be involved with, the focus worthy part of their business is government extraction in Boeing corporate's minds. Our corporate class is such short sigted trash.

They can do even better. I don't know how much I can say but there is an EU funded alternative in the works.

Evroc in Sweden is trying to do this.
