But there is ?
Go to Paris, Berlin, Lisboa, Barcelona, ... There is a lot of start-ups, incubator, investor, meet-ups, conference, etc. The EU has a very vibrant tech scene. It is probably more distributed than the U.S, by nature, and not on the same scale.
But acting as if the E.U is some sort of ludite, back water, hostile to business, is just plain wrong and huge exaggeration.
- alpaca128 3y agoThe issue to me is less about the existence of a tech scene and more about reliance. A European app running on locked down hardware with permission of a megacorporation (US or not) doesn't make you much less dependent.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoIt's not EU that's hostile, but employment laws in most countries which make it extremely hard to fire people or hire contractors.
