Europe's Tech Ecosystem Is Quietly Thriving, Not Falling Behind
By
Omar Mohout
Summary
A contrarian, evidence-based argument that Europe's tech ecosystem is not declining but quietly thriving. The author pushes back against the dominant narrative of European technological stagnation, arguing that Europe's different approach to innovation—emphasizing regulation, sustainability, and societal impact over pure growth—is actually a strength. The piece highlights Belgium's underappreciated role in this ecosystem and contends that Europe is building the future on its own terms rather than trying to copy Silicon Valley.
