VEO(@vrexec):I googled today "most innovative companies in the world" and a Forbes ranking came up. The top 7 are all US companies (ServiceNow being #1) Then it bounces between US and various Asian countries until the first European company appears at #29... which is Hermès... a luxury goods company. I don't know how these rankings are done... but ASML (Netherlands) is ranked #75 for example. Just odd... I feel these rankings make no sense and probably contribute to the perception that there is no innovation in Europe.
