Funland has Nokia and Angry Birds :D
Because everyone goes to the SF area of a big market also known as USA.
You do have lots of impressive tech startups in London and Munich. You just don't have as much easy venture capital flowing into them.
Not enough capitalism.
becuse EU has shittone of regulation that prevent healthy bussnies
>implying hervanta isn't like silicon valley
Come on Pekka.
'silicon roundabout' (old street roundabout in london) is a smaller shittier version
nobody invested in eastern pooland
Because the EU isn't strong enough to make it happen yet. Nobody wants to give up business in their own country for the sake of combined EU expertise and competetiveness.
because you're usa satellite states
Because Europoors would rather give all their money to the rapefugees
More importantly, why we don't have our own 'Hollywood' yet?
Stop derailing threads with your shitposting.
You drove away all your Jews
(which is also the answer to OP's question)
this pretty much sums it up
Stupid.
Because satellites shouldn't have their own culture, they should be assimilated into master-country
is this RARE?
Stupid.
we don't speak in one language
We dont have to. We could just make movies in numerous languages
simple answer: no one aside from a few fanatics in u.s.a thought silicon wafer chips would ever become anything important. western europe was full of idiots (still is) and eastern europe was full of communism (now it's not). there were some attempts at producing microchip dies in the 80s and beginning of 90s, but they all faded away from lack of interest and investment, by that time all the major player already had fabrication plants up and running at full force.
>making movies for a market of 75 million at best
ah yes, very profitable
but they won't win any Oscars because any foreign film can win only 1 Oscar
You do realize that China's ascendancy in tech demolishes your hypothesis, right? They've made a better Intel Xeon than Intel itself.
Bayern mentioned
Chinks are intellectually superior to white subhumans
Talent congregated during the early formation of the tech industry. Europe never prioritised tech spending while the US was pushing hundreds of billions into tech through the pentagon and DARPA.
i understand you are trying to sound really smart, but honey, we we're discussing europe, not china
and btw it's not a hypothesis, it's history.
Because Europeans aren't as easy to fall for new hypes, also because our capital is distributed more evenly. In return for Silicon Valley millions of Americans are living in utter poverty.
There are also millions of yuropoors living in utter poverty
Why would Europe have a Silicon Valley?
Serious question. It's relevant because such enterprises exist "because", not "because why not?"
I live in the Midwest and there's lots of tech startups here now. They exist because of the extremely low cost of living and doing business here and because most tech companies in the 21st century don't need anything more than an internet connect and everyday office supplies to get their work done.
They also exist because lots of midwestern cities paid for city works projects that required technically skilled workers (publicly owned internet companies especially). Once the public work was done the engineers just started their own businesses.
It has in Ireland/London. Not in those scales though.
no, but you and your yank friend are just shitposting anyway
ireland? no. couple of big corporations evade taxes there. that's about it.
england.. they sold off their flag ship just recently.
so all in all, not even close. waaaay off.
You wouldn't watch a good french movie?
Most people wouldn't, no.
That's not even a slam against French films, it's just the truth.
Of course I would, and I have. But people like me who don't mind reading subtitles are a minority. Most people in every country prefer watching movies in languages they understand. For example, La famille Bélier made 90+% of its money from francophones (other movies have similar breakdowns). Essentially, market size sets a hard ceiling on industry size.
So why don't Spanish movies make as much money as Hollywood? Spain is limited by its tiny population, while sudacas are limited by poverty.
Well I watch english films with subtitles. So is there a problem only amongst the anglo countries? If we made good movies it wouldn't matter which language is used by the actors
The leading European technology park is in France and his name is Sophia Antipolis
who needs Silicon Valley when we have people hand-making 300 cocks per month
Because Europe is anti business and has too high taxes. Ireland is the only country in Europe with a chance at creating a European Silicon Valley
Because they all move to the U.S. Which pays much more
We don't take over half of their hard earned money in the name of socialism too.

You can do what the chinks do and dub over everyone till it's the same language and the accents are uniform.
why does russia not have a sillicon valley
you just hae to make outlandish movies with explosions and cliche storylines and youll become a movie exporter in no time
Because innovation depends on freedom and Europe has a lot less of that
Then why doesn't gloriously independent Russia have its own Hollywood?
Because they aren't as smart as Americans so there aren't enough tech geniuses there to form a place like that.
>Because they aren't as smart as Americans

Nah if you don't hit all the big selling points market research ahs learned you won't get shit.
For example African films will never hit big or the few that will will have to put way more effort to get attention because the stigma with Blacks. European films are too sophisticated and scare plebs and multiple languages. Asian films are too foreign and will end up getting an American version of the film made later on. To quote Fry "Clever things make people feel stupid, and unexpected things make them feel scared." combined with the above make developing films for Non- Americans and hell many Americans that want to branch out. If you want a smaller audience that's fine but eventually you'll want to go into the big pond and leave the small domestic markets.
they're too poor
well, there is CERN.
www was created there along with all sorts of particle physics research.
Because we have laws against what these kikes are doing.
We have this place, it's called Sophia Antipolis
It hosts a ton of business in high tech and science
Afaik there's only like 30 000 people in there but they're all extremely competent
So why should we be making movies in dozens of languages in one place?
>Antipolis
yeah that's labelled
btw live 20mn from here
>labelled
What do you mean ? From what i read Antipolis is just the ancient name of Antibes
instead they lose over half their money on stupid expensive rent
I meant it's not a real city in its essence.
It's quite the contrary.
Thus the antipolis.
That's my take though.
oh i see what you mean
what is it like ? like a corporation that pretends to be a city ?
we had NOKIA n sheit
now all is over
