Europe is not good at monetizing their inventions while being far slower than their competitors to scale in emerging markets.

To accelerate we need:
1. Low taxes, for IT/AI 20% max for IRS, like in Portugal
2. English as second language

Nokia is pretty far from the “RIP” state, lol.

I notice a few errors. Skype was mostly Estonian and Nokia is Finnish. Also Poland has CDprojekt RED makers of Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher, not sure if it qualifies but is somewhat tech-related.

This list really shows how poorly Europe is doing because half of it are not even company’s but free software (which by definition is located in any single country) some do not exist any longer (Nokia) or are in really bad shape(Bosch, Bayer, Thyssenkrupp? For real? Innovative?) and some are not even European (anymore) like black forest labs (who emigrated due to high tax), hugging face and clarity AI.
Bug_Parking on
There’s some pretty strawclutching examples in there- Skype (hasn’t existed for ages), Mastodon. Clarity AI is a US company. Hugging Face is US based, having been founded *New York*.

says a lot when you have to put iLovepdf on the list doesn’t it

Where is Rheinmetall?

If “iLovePDF” makes the cut, we are fucked

This graphic kinda proves the opposite point. This list represents 11 countries worth and I would argue at least half could not be considered current innovators (and that’s being generous)

Oh no. Now I feel worse.

Seeing a slide titled European innovation, and seeing SAP listed there..🤮 Like maybe it was innovative in the 80s-90s.

Eleven Labs is a poor example, it was funded by Polish migrants to US in the US.

Compare this to the USA with a smaller population. Or even Israel with a population of 7 million, probably has a quarter worth of that picture

Interesting list but for me it is not completely clear what type of companies are included and excluded as some of them are not necessarily innovators and it is a lot but completely tech & AI focused.
For Germany some interesting ones could be Biontech, Telekom, DeepL, Trumpf, Schwarz Digits, Infineon, Helsing and more

If this is all you can pull, then we’re truly fucked. Apart from 2 or 3 companies, this literally nothing. We should’ve de-americanized long ago.
Lakuriqidites on
This is a great list.
You also forgot the Albanian Virus which is a great innovation.
Is it me, or most of the companies are just next to the wgong country?
MirekDusinojc on
Lots of those companies are open-source and non-profit. I guess thats what you get with all the wellfare states, people making stuff to enrich society and not necessary themsleves.

Yes. Where is the european innovation? This only proves the burgers point.

The idea is great, but it’s missing of many innovative companies. Also the research institutes must be considered.
Very important companies are missing:
– N26
– Revolut
– Trade Republic
– Scalable Capital
– Celonis
– SumUp
– Klarna
– BitPanda

I’m a simple man. I see airbus. I see a lot of European countries. I’m happy.
Also, fucking logitech is from the EU? Siemens is also from spain?

Arm is mainly owned by SoftBank, a Japanese company and the majority of its workforce is not European, even though it was founded in the UK.

We don’t have a talent to make people work 60h week for shit pay. We’re done with our slaver days. And its something to be proud of.
Mrikoko on
Not good enough. Europe needs better access to capital and the ability to retain talent that is currently leaving for the US.
ahora-mismo on
DeepL should be in the list. it’s much better than google translate.
acatnamedrupert on
Heard a good critique of our system.
We have the tech innovation, but lack easy means to find EU wide investments into startups or later companies that need to expand. Those funds are sadly still quite hard to get across the whole single market.
So many companies that are not big already but want to expand tend to leave to open their HQ in the US where acquiring capital from a larger finance block is easier.
EU could totally do that too, but we need to shift a few things and push our politicians to start thinking more EU wide and less national focused.
andupotorac on
They’re not European if they incorporate in US – like ElevenLabs. Startups should stay in Europe and raise from European VCs.

Since Siemens bought Varian, you guys control 100% of cancer radiation therapy. Really internet, AI, the “computer” space is the only area you are really missing/ bad at.
