Beat me to it. Also Sweden is leading in tech, how exactly?
They have number dispensers at the meat or bread counters in supermarkets which is quite neat. You do not have to wait in a queue and can do your other grocery shoppings until the display shows your number. ;)
Arguably the most technically advanced EU country Sweden always avoids Franco-German initiatives and the leader in chip technology in Europe is the brexiting UK with the globally dominant ARM platform (soon to be acquired by NVIDIA from Softbank).
Isn't ASML [0] the leading manufacturer of photolithography machines? They are dutch. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASML_Holding
These are major failures. Hopefully, as this was mostly due to constant sabotages by the UK, the situation will improve now that they are gone. Sadly, their constant push for enlargement can't really be undone and might still doom the union in the end.
What will actually happen: some countries will spend a trivial amount of money in a PR stunt with not coordination between the countries and result in no advance for the EU countries participating. Source: All other industries in Europe.

Isn't that method exactly how the silicon valley, and with it companies like Intel, were created? By the US DoD directing money from the top?
How will they be keeping talent? I heard workers in IT are paid low compared to other jobs and especially compared to similar jobs in North America, what stops them. from just going to US/Canada?
As an European working in a sector very close to the semiconductor industry my main reason is that I don't want to live in the US/Canada.
