    “The US plans to be the biggest exporter of silicon in 2030”.

    At least you boiled it down to a single country, with national agencies and a government that makes strategies. Like a strategy to be the biggest exporter of silicon, which can result in laws and regulations encouraging silicon exports.

    But a whole continent building a super computer? That’s just a bad title. And reading the linked article doesn’t give you any additional information, without signing up for a newsletter?!?

      Europe has government and agencies on the European scale. They often make strategies and fund initiative like this with European government funds. They might also influence European legislation to encourage things.

        Europe has government and agencies on the European scale.

        Since when? AFAIK there’s a European Union and then there’s Europe the continent. Lots of countries in Europe are not part of the union, and given the suffix of your instance you should be aware of this.

          I’m very aware that the EU doesn’t encompass all countries in Europe, but when reading a story where they ascribe a action to the continent I read the word Europe as a synonym for EU. It’s fairly common, especially in an American magazine.
