EU doesn't really like to do start-ups in traditional fields dominated by century-old players, so the policies all focus on protecting those monopolists and not helping create startup to disrupt them or that could threaten them.
That's why they were anti-EV for so long, since that threatened their lucrative ICE dominance.
- maelito 1y agoWell that's a problem. But I believe you're wrong. Lots of startups tackle old problems and succeed. The best example would be Alan, for health insurance. They're a startup in a traditional field dominated by half-a-century players. Indy is another example : enterprise accounting is very old. It wasn't industrial, now it is, online. Decathlon's bikes did destroy old players of this field. Mistral crushed every French decade-old IT companies in the LLM domain. Etc.

So how is that a "best example" ? >Mistral crushed every French decade-old IT companies in the LLM domain. Etc. Mistral didn't crush anything, Legacy French SW companies are still there doing business.
