True. I believe it shows the weakness in the political landscape of Europe, as many innovative EU-Companies grow first and foremost by supplying big companies in US/Asia.
"Hitting the ground running" with a own launch in Europe is almost impossible due to lack of structural support, investor-mindset and language/market differences. I believe a stronger unification would be needed, but unfortunately there's no sign of improvement, as like in US the political trend in EU is for countries to become MORE nationalist instead of embracing a European Union...
- idiotsecant 4y agoI have often thought that the EU is the sleeping giant of world politics if only they could manage to get behind a shared identity as Western Europeans. Unfortunately it seems like you need major galvanizing trauma like a major war to drive disparate tribes of people together like that, and it only seems to last as long as it takes for the population a few generations later to forget that bonding event and revert to typical tribal squabbling (see American politics).
- mongol 4y agoThe "problem" (not really a problem in my opinion, but the main contributing circumstance) is that we all speak different languages. We can all communicate with each other using a few common languages but the majority have another native language than English. I don't think true identity-building can happen because of this. We will remain as we are, able to communicate but with distinct nationalities and identities. Not neccessarily a problem, just the way it is.
