If we're talking about computer related tech then it's not even a contest. Pick any number be it total funding, exits, whatever and the US is going to win by an order of magnitude. Traditional industries are perhaps doing better, not sure. I hear that Europeans tend to be more innovative in manufacturing, factory tech etc. But I wouldn't know enough to have an opinion. If you look at the GDPs something must be going okayish. But it sure isn't startups. I agree on VCs and capital but that's just a symptom IMO. The risk aversion goes all the way down. So does the conservatism. Moving to the US is easier than changing the culture.
