Right and there are also quite a few industries where Europe is way ahead of the US, to name a few:

- Railways and signalling equipment

- Container shipping

- Reinsurance

- Industrial machinery

- Wind turbine technology

- Luxury goods, luxury fashion and fast fashion

- Tourism

A big difference is that in Europe most companies are not big conglomerates. Yes everyone has heard of Siemens. But then you have tonnes of companies like WALDNER, based in a small German town with revenues of €350m, they make packaging equipment that can fill 100,000 yogurt pots per hour. Oh and they are a private company.
