I was initially confused about this too. The title of the corresponding video of the article replaces "over at" with "in", which is much clearer. In other words, it's not "over" anything it's "over (there) at" the specified places.

> How Tech Loses Out over at Companies, Countries and Continents > How technology loses out in companies, countries & continents > How Tech Loses Out None of these titles are understandable to me. How can it be so hard to give something a simple, intelligible, and coherent title? Or maybe I'm the idiot.

  The missing implicit bits and technical conflations are probably what are throwing you. "Technology" really means technical understanding and resulting quality as opposed to use. Even the crappy ones still use tech that they outsource but poorly. Losing out means in the context of matters of popularity. It is losing out in the same way Semmelweiss did in his lifetime over "doctors should wash their hands".
