I can guarantee if there are any government funding instruments in place in the respective countries of operation, one way or another it will be gouged by the big corps. Example from my home country: the government heavily subsidized the biggest telco’s new cyber security center a couple years back, because it was an ”technological innovation” that would ”bring jobs”. The services provided through this are of course private (as are gains.) The talent and resources of big corp will usually outwit government policy.
