- Median age in years of the 348 European companies that are constituents of the S&P Global 1,200 index. This compares to 64 for North American companies. Do the old have the speed it takes to respond to tech-enabled change?
Interestingly, the median age of the incumbent companies in these industries is well over 100 years. In the battle of incumbent versus startup, it is not the young who beats the old or the large who beats the small. It is those who are fast that are more likely to succeed against the slow.
