Again on the topic of too few new tech companies in Europe, and especially in Italy.
The Atomico report on the “State of European Tech 2017” shows a list of all tech companies, either private, public, or acquired funded since 2003 with a valuation higher than one billion dollars.
The total number is 41:
16 are private
16 are public
9 have been acquired.
The breakdown per country is familiar:
13 UK
7 Germany
6 Sweden
3 France
3 Russia
2 Finland
2 Denmark
2 Netherland
1 Ireland
1 Slovenia
1 Switzerland
