We worked the last months on a new completely ad-free database for European products, brands, services and companies. A few days ago we released the site. The website focuses on usability with a simple search form and a clear structure. After the technical development we are now in the process of filling the database with content.

If you have any feedback, we would appreciate it. If you like it and want to share it, we appreciate that too. :)

Thanks in advance!

That’s fair, thanks for expanding on the criteria! Serif is indeed still located in the UK, I had a look before commenting. The address of the company headquarters matters, for sure.

for example publicly traded companies are usually owned by several investors and might even be hold in majority by foreign investors - but the company itself has to follow regional laws which is what we focus on.

Absolutely. Ubisoft is a great example of that. Last time I checked, Tencent owns a bunch of shares there - not enough for a majority, yet it’s still a concern for the future.

The site is bookmarked and I’m looking forward to watching it develop!
