HTML was created in Switzerland. Linux in Finland. Not sure what "software" companies are for you. Google? Well, China has enough Internet counterparts (Tencent, Wechat, Alibaba etc.). Softbank (Japan) just bought ARM (UK). Regarding "software" companies like Microsoft, SAP (DE) is quite a decent size. Nokia (Fi) was once leading edge too. Sure you have not heard about Skype and Transferwise, but they do exist. Maybe you should come out of your little bubble once in a while?
- flexie 9y agoHTML was based on the ideas of a British national, Tim Berners-Lee. He spoke English. So did Linus Thorvalds, and the founders of Skype and Transferwise. ARM and Nokia are/were not mainly software companies, but producers of chips and cell phones (where software is a part). Not sure what bubble you are talking about.
