People truly underestimate the level of incompetence and corruption after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The EE lands were ripe for the taking and WE companies made sure to take everything as fast as possible. It was not even a battle it was just a pure massacre. That left those countries without any local champions or easy options to elevate themselves. I've said it many many times that it will take dozens of unicorns like UIPath in Romania to offset the loss of industries now dominated by DACH companies. Romania would need to become another Singapore which is almost impossible.
