Not a mass migration Let’s kill that idea first No wave of engineers packing bags from Silicon Valley to Europe That’s not what’s happening What is happening is more interesting The default path is breaking It used to be “Top talent → US” No questions asked Now EU talent is staying More founders are building locally More researchers are funded locally More infra is being built locally From the US It’s not simply “people moving back” It’s friction increasing Visas Costs Politics Layoffs cycles So fewer people are going That matters more than people leaving From Asia Still flows to the US But China is closing its own loop So that pipeline isn’t as global anymore either So no This isn’t a “talent returning to Europe” story That’s too simple This is a “the US is no longer the automatic center of gravity” story And that’s the part people underestimate Because shifts like this don’t start loud They start with Fewer people leaving More people staying Capital following slowly Fragmentation > migration Reality is that European countries are dumping US tech. - Microsoft to Linux. - MS365 to Open Libra. - Teams and Zoom to Visio - WhatsApp etc to Wise etc. - Visa and Mastercard to Wero, iDeal, MobilePay, Revolut. - Uber to Bolt - AWS/GCP/Azure to OVHCloud, STACKIT etc. All these new initiatives need builders so the tech scene suddenly has a lot more to offer. That’s the signal
