> the EU produces effectively 0 innovative tech Eu produces effectively 0 innovative tech because the PR marketing-machine that is geared to sell you stocks on the US stock market makes incessant noise about American companies to sell those shares to you while excluding anyone outside. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/10/meet-europe-top-tech-titans/ https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/10/meet-europe-top-tech-... Those are the 'hot up and coming'. https://www.value.today/top-companies/top-technology-companies-europe https://www.value.today/top-companies/top-technology-compani... Those are by size. All of this, without talking about SAP and the like. European businesses dont operate on 'Sell over-inflated shares to those suckers to "capitalize"' - they operate on traditional indicators.

So you end up with companies like Hetzner slowly growing from engineering roots and then suddenly jumping on to the other side of the ocean to kick incumbent cloud butt there.
