This article is very shortsighted. Ambition is not the problem; 1.) Subsidies are broken; The company with the biggest mouth gets the money instead of the best idea. I've seen it dozens of times with the weirdest legal constructions; Companies create holdings with different companies under them and those companies "hire" each other instead of hiring other parties outside of the holding, so they get all the hours and money.(Lots of tax money is evaded that way) I know a company that got !3 million Euros! in EU-funding in the last 6 years and no one knows what they do. Now nobody wants to do business with them. 2.) Startup hubs DO need help; As much as I love the passionate startup hubs, they are not going to get traction without help from a bigger company. I think that the startup scene of London wouldn't be so vibrant if it wasn't for the Google Campus. Companies would be funded more/easier if your being backed by a worldwide-known brand like Google (even if its only the desk your sitting at). Please see http://www.larrypage.nl http://www.larrypage.nl for my quest to bring Google to The Netherlands and start a Startup Campus here. P.S: The United Kingdom is NOT Europe.
