> There's a reason why we have never seen a world leading tech company come out from anywhere except the US.

A few examples:

Nokia (the sleeping giant will awaken again :))

Nordic Semiconductor

The Qt Company

Unity Technologies

I might be influenced by living in Scandinavia. :)



> Nokia (the sleeping giant will awaken again :))

There is a nice little scene of companies in Espoo filled with some incredibily talented technologists who all got their start at Nokia.

Even if Nokia itself doesn't return, I expect at least one or two major technology developments out of there. I have my eye on ICEYE and have even thought of maybe working there.


Also Nintendo, Sony, Ericsson, and Samsung


Wasn’t Opera, Nokia, and QT all within the same building too in Oslo? Maybe something’s in the water


Not Nokia, but yes I used to work for opera and trolltech was just a floor above us. We did a lot of work for Nokia device so maybe that’s what you were thinking of.

Nokia itself was a giant corporation with multiple buildings around Finland.


TSMC

ASML
