re talent, there is plenty in EU and getting a visa to USA is not the easiest / not everyone wants to emigrate to USA

  But most talented people end up working for US companies. If we all got together and founded a serious company in Europe, we could work for a company grounded in our community.

    Hence my question: what in this current "Silicon Generic Location" plan is the strategy to get the investors required for such a company to be founded?
    • chrisseaton 5y ago
      None. They have no plan. That's honestly the answer. They don't want to make the challenging cultural and social mindset change required to produce a genuine competitor to Silicon Valley. In fact I would guess that they most likely don't even have the most basic idea of what is different about the Silicon Valley.

    Not really. The US companies have some bad reputation regarding work culture ( no holidays, expectation to be available after hours). There are a lot of European companies.

    But I left the US to work in Dresden. No comparison. Glad to back in a democracy, proper work climate and solidarity
