Boston Consulting Group, 2020
Aperçu
Make a mental list of all the big tech companies you know. Are any of them European?
Recommendation
The United States has Amazon, China has Alibaba, and Europe has…well, let’s try again. The United States has Google, China has Baidu, and Europe has…ok, never mind. The Netherlands had Skype, which Microsoft acquired, and the UK created DeepMind, an artificial intelligence company, which Google purchased, leaving Europe with…nothing. So what can the European Union do to facilitate the growth of its tech industry and the digitization of its other industries? Experts from the European offices of the Boston Consulting Group offer suggestions in this special report.
