Exceed US or lead globally I mean

Interesting thought experience. Europeans do have access to great formal education, but they lack the hunger.

Yes without stupid EU rules and regulation killing the scene.

Do you feel risk aversion culture is an obstacle or something that could be overcome?

Risk aversion is not the problem conforming to rules and regulations are. Listen to the co-founder of Relai explain the process of obtaining a MICA license in this podcast and you'll understand what I am talking about.

Its all about barriers to entry.

yes

What do you think needs to happen to get more startups in Europe?

Less government, more freedom, hard money.

That’ll be tough. Once they are in, they’re not leaving

The government? I agree. All we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can't stop 😉

Maybe if EU states redistribute funds from benefits to investment.

Basically be less socialist.

Europe is dying for the last 80 years , nothing can reverse what's coming. As always have been. The cycle of civilizations raise and fall.

maybe you’ll have a chance if eu would magically disappear one day while nation states wouldn’t step in with retarded local regulations
