About
A note from Juan Hierro, founder of Tecoss Europe Ltd
Since founding Tecoss S.L. in 1999, my work has been shaped by a simple conviction: progress happens when ideas, talent, and innovation move across borders. After more than twenty-seven years of working in international environments, that belief remains at the heart of everything I do. With the creation of Tecoss Europe Ltd in London, we now open a new chapter with European Roots — American Greatness, our flagship initiative for the 250th Anniversary of American Independence.
This project honours a truth often overlooked: Europe's engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and thinkers played a decisive role in building the modern United States. Through research-driven storytelling, curated directories, and institutional partnerships, we aim to present this shared legacy with accuracy, dignity, and historical depth.
As founder, my mission is to ensure this anniversary is marked with substance and respect. I invite partners, organisations, and readers to join us in celebrating the enduring bond between Europe and America.

The Untold
Story.
European Roots — American Greatness exists to document the European ideas, institutions, engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, and communities whose contributions helped shape the development of the United States. Through research-driven features, curated directories, and institutional partnerships, the publication presents this shared transatlantic legacy with accuracy, dignity, and historical depth — not as a counter-narrative, but as a fuller account of how American greatness was built.
