Will Europeans ever regain a technological lead again, or has centuries of mass emigration left the continent void of any creative intelligence?

You're probably right, not to mention the loss of most of their alpha males during the world wars certainly didn't help.

some major user end applications have come from europe, like spotify and skype for instance, but competing against established platform or infrastructure giants would require massive changes in regulation that the european public have no real reason to want. the only potential competition against amerian tech in the 21st century comes from china because they straight up ban foreign companies in order to promote their own, and still (as of today and for the most part) they lack the scale to establish themselves in first world markets which is where most of the tech pie is split.
as long as american companies are willing to adapt to european finnancial and labor law for the sake of business Europe won't need to relax its regulations to match the investment climate of the USA, kind of in the same way as America relies on foreign manufacturing; it's just a better deal that doesn't affect their own quality of life

Not anytime soon. It all comes down to the brutal regulations. Just look at how they treat Google. The only thing that makes serious money in the EU is the automotive and financial industry, and that's because it's old money that got heavily involved with the government that now does everything in it's power to help it and keep the competition at bay. This creates an environment where anything that starts up new and gets big fast is seen as a threat and would have to jump over so many hurdles that it's just a matter of time before it's throttled down by the eurocrat leeches.
Lucas Harris
In addition to this, look at the current IT "giants" from Europe like ABB or Ericsson - they're both companies that are more than a 100 years old. EU just can't innovate and create new corporations in new areas of business.

Hm, where did Tesla get those nice robots? Is KUKA an American company. Surely. Why would they buy foreign products if Americans build such excellent machinery.

Actually useful technology such as electrical equipment (transformers, generators, turbines), high precision and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, cellular networking equipment, automation, robotics, medical devices and other high tech gear that nobody else in the world can make. There are also a lot of regulations in place to prevent companies from creating shit that could potentially kill you and fuck you over in some other way. We also have largest particle accelerator and are currently building a first fusion reactor to make net energy.
Carson Kelly

You mean the Large Useless Garbage? Congrats, you fucking found the Higgs-Boson particle. So fucking useful.

Higgs was only a beginning. LHC-tan will allow us to discover a lot more amazing things. We also have an antimatter factory. Have fun playing with your mobile apps and websites.
Ayden Garcia
Y'all, the only reason Europe do not have any major tech company is very simple. You might not like it, but it's simple Europe actually regulate and taxes big companies.
Before you counter argue, proof to me that Apple, Google, Amazon and so on, pays their share of taxes, instead of finding shelters and loopholes (which it's known that they do)
In America, only the small and medium sized business gets taxed and regulated by the book, the bigger you are, the easier your trading environment. I was about to say the better the environment, but better has a positive ring to it.
EU will NOT get any major tech company unless on of three scenario happens: 1) America actually gets their shit together, and start taxing the companies and rich, and thus also get a positive guv.budget btw. 2)Users, especially Europeans, starts to expell American companies for their bad practices. 3) A genius, and i mean a real one, starts a business in an EU country that's so good and/or stable that it just gets up in the top, even through ethically unfair competition.

Not because of social democracy, but despite. As you might notice, social democracy failed everywhere else except in Nordics and even we started moving out of that since 1990's.
Daniel Ramirez
>Y'all, the only reason Europe do not have any major tech company is very simple. You might not like it, but it's simple Europe actually regulate and taxes big companies.
Utter Bullshit.
Because TECHNICALLY nearly all of those "American" tech companies are really Dutch.
Because, guess what? - USA does tax them but we do not.
Big "American" companies pay no taxes not because the US government is so kind to them, but because they're big enough to set up that sweet sweet "double Irish and Dutch sandwich".
Which the US government thinks is a crime but it makes us a few millions (by costing the American taxpayers countless billions but they can go fuck themselves)

Tbh, it makes sense that only a few companies will rise up and dominate the internet. It's want happens when new economys form. There are a bunch of diversified cottage industries. Then, eventually a few small companies become mega corporations that dominate the scene. It's just simply good management and luck. Nobody could have predicted that Amazon would be number 1 in world in the 1990s.
