Most of them are headquartered in the USA, including Alphabet, Amazon,Apple, Meta and Microsoft, also known as the "Big Five". A comparative analysis of the BigFive provides insights into their success factors and platform-related antitrust issues thatcould be helpful for policymakers to improve the European technology ecosystem.
