That requires a lot effort to get started on like the training of workers and the construction of capacity.
Computer chip manufacturing.
Taiwan, South Korea, and China are literally the only countries with any experience in production.
Although a lot of the tooling for manufacturing is made In Germany and the Netherlands. Particularly the lithography machines. A lot of important of the chemicals come from Japan. Japan also has a history of manufacturing chips, although they haven’t been on the leading edge node for a while.
Not true at all. Chips were made in Europe before production was outsourced. Not to mention Europe’s darling: AMSL.
Yeah, I mean, Germany alone has GlobalFoundries, Infineon and Bosch (among others), but sure…
Fine, advanced chip manufacturing. Germany’s best plants can produce literally nowhere near the 4nm chips that the likes of TSMC can. And shrinking in size is both exponentially harder and more valuable for an information processing chip at anywhere near that scale.
Office suite. People are so heavily locked in and have been MS brainwashed for basically since the dawn of office suites. Building an alternative and mass adopting it requires removing entire generations of boomers and aging millenials from their basic work tools. I’m not talking about our lemmy tech alt filter bubble. I’m talking about the people who panic they “deleted the internet” when they accidentally remove Chrome from their home screen.
I would love to see the planning stages of the ambitious projects!
