I've heard some opinions about technicalities for small young companies which are easier in California than in Europe. Capital and networking are important, but it's something which changes slower, and some efforts could be put towards improving the regulatory environment.

It is not a tech problem, not a culture ptoblem, but a monetary one. Reserve currency status and the petrodollar gives the US accrss to unlimited consequence free cash. This is why they can just treat the EU as a free research lab and buy up every promising result.
