Many practitioners in European regions indeed have a cognitive bias in assessing the potential of their own continent, which is also an important reason why more and more people are choosing to seek opportunities elsewhere. Beyond the mindset, the deeper issue lies in: excessive regulatory frameworks and energy cost pressures are squeezing market vitality. The cumbersome compliance requirements leave practitioners more time to deal with policies rather than innovate, coupled with energy policy constraints, the entire ecosystem seems to be stuck in problem identification and difficult to break through. This structural contradiction makes participants seeking growth opportunities increasingly inclined to flow into markets with more flexible regulation and abundant energy.
Regulations are numerous, energy is expensive, no wonder everyone is moving east
Basically, all the rules trap people, how can there be any innovation
Europe's ecosystem is being strangled by its own rules, and they're still discussing the issues
Compliance isn't just wasting time sitting there
The energy cost hurdle is insurmountable, Europe really can't come up with new ideas
These are old problems, but no one wants to bite the bullet and break through
A systemic dead end, it's not surprising that a wave of escape is happening
