"Europe" as an entity does not exist in the sense the USA does. The EU is trying, but from a company perspective, there is not single market when it comes to marketing and selling a product. It's all individual target groups, with big differences in language, culture, etc. They do not share a common cultural background. Simple example: In the US, you can make a pop cultural reference and everyone will get it. Take a German reference/joke and try it anywhere else. At best people won't get it, at worst they'll be deeply offended. There are big French software vendors that do not bother to post job listings on their careers page in any other language than French. Europe consists of individual markets, some a single country, some a group. DACH, Nordics, UK+Eire, but then Spain, Italy, France,... Universities are not European. There is no European MIT. Each country has their own elite tech uni, some truly good, some mediocre. ETH Zurich? Awesome. TU Vienna? Meh. etc etc etc
