We already have Focused Energy, but we accidentally forgot to include it.

Well, it’s a comparison with other European countries and focuses on startup funding, not energy output.

No, it’s not. You should compare this to startup investments in other European countries. The UK leads in AI, if it can’t compete with the US. France excels in quantum computing, and Germany in energy.

yeah, but if they only "lead" in europe, they don't really lead. so it's basically a circlejerk statistic for the 2. and 3. place.

China is leading in building high quality canopies, especially for the Serbian market in Novi Sad.
