How do you view Europe? As a place of new better world (subjectively) of modern and tolerant values? Divided and week continent? Possibly a new world power if it gets over it's inner issues and more united? Do you see it a valuable west ally or is it too divided to be of any good?
*What is her place in todays world (Example: If Russia invaded Ukraine without USA would Europe do anything? )? As product of todays Europe will Europe for next, lets say 50 year, be a world power. Place of new culture and ideologies? Will a new nation from Europe become the new world power, will new power be Europe as a collective or none of these?
Googling "Switzerland IT giant" results in "It's a giant broken chair".
"Swiss IT giant" - swiss army knives.
Wikipedia page which lists Swiss IT companies lists 23 entries.
So, um, I don't consider Switzerland as a country with strong IT.
@HahiHa
I base my opinion on complete lack of Switzerland IT-related news and products I either work with or read about to have general knowledge about industry.
Like, I've worked with German products (SAP R3), vaguely remember some French ones, but never ever heard about Swiss ones (with the exception of one kickstarter-related gizmo\dizmo or whatever). Right now my job is tied with geo informational systems, and guess what - no swiss one exists either, but around 10+ are from US.
Your "high quality satellite"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat made from standard details. Congratulation on being able to create something according to instruction from purchased details.
http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=11086 Launched in 1978 satellite, made by students.
"Powering mars rover" - this is precise engineering, reproduction of well known design of electromotor from high quality materials. Today they produce engines, tomorrow- knives. What program products were used to create schemes for these motors, though? American Autocad?
CERN - international project. Swiss participation is almost non-existent.

Institutes of technology - well, Switzerland need to teach new generations how to make knives *pokerface*
Today they produce engines, tomorrow- knives.
Um, ok I dare say you are crossing the boundaries between dismissing claims and flattening them if they do not appear to go well with your view.
Take a moment and attempt to prove that sentence and next time don't raze absolutely everything in your path to prove a point.

I talked about IT cluster - microelectronics, programs, chips, etc.
Built by Switzerland electric engines, which were given as a counterexample - wires and magnets, electromagnets. This is not an IT tech.
You still haven't contributed anything to the topic beside attacking my opinion.Exactly. My involvement is therefore justified, however slightly. How about yours?
This is called giving perspective, "comparison" results in some conclusion.So, we are agreed that you have been making comparisons.
"If you don't enact this legislation, we would reconsider giving you credit, try to cover 15% budget deficit then".Nice autoquote. Now, if you were an EU representative, it might actually carry some weight.
Last country in Europe, which tried to be independent, was bombed by NATO forces into oblivion, butchered into two, their president was let to rot in prison until death without any sentence, and 15 years later remnants of this country is still one of the biggest sources of refugees.And this definitively proves that a European nation can't exist independent of the EU, right?
Googling "Switzerland IT giant" results in "It's a giant broken chair".Because you told the search engine to find the words "it" and "giant".
"Swiss IT giant" - swiss army knives.
So, um, I don't consider Switzerland as a country with strong IT.My mistake. Apparently, it's Ireland and Sweden with Hungary following close behind.
Today they produce engines, tomorrow- knives.. . . What? What is that even supposed to mean? Do you even know what you're trying to say anymore?
CERN - international project.
Institutes of technology - well, Switzerland need to teach new generations how to make knives *pokerface*
As for Switzerland's participation, it is a founding member, seat of the organisation, seventh largest financial contributor, and actively researching. Just by the way.
So you didn't know about them.
And this definitively proves that a European nation can't exist independent of the EU, right?
Provided land, 3% of budget, and almost 2% of personnel.
Can you imagine that I don't get any "WOW!" effect about existence of universities which teach engineers?
