> Europe has tech companies and independent cloud providers. Yet they seem to never grow large or fast enough to become leaders globally or even in Europe. Very true, but I'm unsure why that is the case. My guess it's the country/language fragmentation, ie. companies looking mostly at suppliers from their own country. But I'm not sure that is the case. Also another guess is that European companies buy US software but US companies don't often buy European software perhaps? Again, nothing to back that up with except for a hunch.
