The EU is a clear leader in other industries compared to the US, just not in the tech industry. In terms of national security and stability, I'd say any of these companies are much more important than any tech company. If the market here for innovation is so bad, why are these companies leaders in their industry? A few examples I can think of off the top of my head: - automotive (Volkswagen, Daimler, Bosch) - industrial equipment (Siemens, ABB) - railroad (Siemens, Alstom) - telecoms (Ericson, Nokia) - chemicals (BSAF, Ineos) - food and drink (anything from France, Italy or Spain :D)
