In Sweden, Google has aquired Marratech and Global IP Solutions. Both are all about hardcore codec innovation, not business model discovery. Google was licensing tech from GIPS long before they aquired it. If big companies are where heavy tech is developed, aquisitions like those would never happen. NB. Another Google aquisition from Sweden was Trendalyzer, Hans Rosling's visualization technology famous from his TED talk, making Sweden the country with most Google aquisitions in Europe, Middle-East and Africa.
