No shortage of competition and innovation here my friend.

We're having this very discussion atop the world wide web which came from CERN.

There's no reason why I should have to sacrifice my privacy so that a few oligarchs can add a few more zeros to their bank accounts.

All I can think of is Nokia and possibly Vodafone if those count as technology. What other big tech companies are there? Not trying to be rude, just generally curious as I don't know much about the European technology scene

I started to write a list ... but easier to google!

I actually hadn't realised Spotify was Swedish! Deezer is French.

Pretty much every high-end car manufacturer.

ARM.

Did you know the modern three-point tractor hitch was invented by an Irishman? Modern motor cars come from Germany. The Web as I mentioned earlier comes from CERN which is a joint European project.

Ericsson, Siemens, Philips.

Airbus is also another joint European cooperative.

Raspberry Pi.

Arduino.

Betfair.

Jetbrains.

Interesting exercise!
