Why do you think EU tech companies are nonexistent?
- laurent92 5y agoBecause they have mild success only. DailyMotion is great as #2, but Youtube is about 1000x bigger. Other startups exist, but are far from Apple-style success. Who would let any company own a campus anyway.
- bildung 5y agoIf "tech giant" equals "web advertising platform", then sure. But there are quite a few big physical tech companies within the EU. Bosch and Facebook have about the same revenue, for example. ZF Friedrichshafen, a company noone has heard of, has double the revenue of Youtube.
- frockington1 5y agoI wouldn't call making dishwashers tech. I'm not disparaging, I love how quiet my Bosch is, but I would classify it as an industrial company not a technology company
- borodi 5y agoYou should probably read more about the other things Bosch does i.e the entire automotive part of it.
- valenceelectron 5y agoThey do more than that, e.g. IoT and PaaS stuff: https://developer.bosch-iot-suite.com/ https://developer.bosch-iot-suite.com/ Also, when googling I found this: https://tpl.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/20201006_Bosch-Data-Strategy_UniStgt_public.pdf https://tpl.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/wp-content/uploads/2... Don't know how successful these endeavors are.
- bildung 5y agoBosch is quite big, they are also a major supplier of the things e.g. a Tesla is made off, e.g. of the hardware behind the self driving functionality. And health tech like germ detection.
- denton-scratch 5y agoARM Holdings.
- mritun 5y agoARM holdings is owned by a Japanese fund and being sold to a US corporation. European salaries are paltry in comparison to US and the businesses are either stagnant (Bosch) or dying off except for a few successful ones that are being sold off to either Chinese conglomerates (Volvo) or USA/Japan (ARM holdings)
