Europe is lagging behind both the United States and China when it comes to technology and innovation, top executive with US firm Meta Nick Clegg has told AFP. Clegg, president of global affairs at the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, said Europe had a "real problem". Clegg has spearheaded previous efforts by Meta to invest in tech in Europe, announcing in 2021 that the US firm would create 10,000 jobs there to help build the "metaverse".
