Tell me one big innovation of the last 30 years where Europe is leading
na-euv
Doesn't really count if you have to google it first to know what it is, that's not what will save the European economy in the future. In the mean time other regions of the world dominate battery technology, battery-electric vehicles, handheld devices, social media, semiconductor technology, quantum computing, and basically the whole internet
Are you saying that semiconductors and chipset manufacturing is not a critical domain today?

Ironic as you are using a Lemmy instance based in Austria
A few other companies in the fields you mentioned:

Yes, and as we all know, feddit.org absolutely dominates the social media market.
I specifically wrote that in these areas other regions of the world are dominating. I'm well aware that there are some players from the EU in these areas. That's not the point. Europe is not leading in any major development of the last 30 years while in other areas they lose market share to the competition like automotive or space (with the notable exception of aviation).
Let's look at tech companies. Look at that list and tell me with a straight face that Europe is playing a dominant role:

Out of the 100 biggest companies, there are only 10 from the whole continent.

Maybe you have to Google it
You keep using your phone, and ignoring what tech allows all modern computers to exist. Tech isn't a major industry, right?
And Europe is not dominating that industry
Just the foundation it's build upon
The foundation doesn't create jobs
It does, about 42000 of them just in the patent holding company alone
