Let’s make EU-INC a reality!

Europe badly needs less country-by-country fragmentation in capital markets and company formation - for large companies and small.

Go @euinc_petition!

On the anniversary of the 'Draghi report', and ahead of @EU_Commission President @vonderleyen's State of the (European) Union tomorrow, the need for bold measures for innovators has never been clearer. 🇪🇺

We could all use a good dose of @euinc_petition:

🤯 MERZ AND MACRON JUST CONFIRMED A PAN-EUROPEAN LEGAL ENTITY IS COMING

It's now up to all of us to ensure the solution that gets passed into law is fit for purpose for European startups.

That means: EU–INC. 🚀

Support us and we all will get this done together. 🇪🇺🤝

[EU–INC @euinc_petition]

Periodic reminder that you have until the 30th of September to let EU bureaucrats and politicians know what YOU think about, what YOU have experienced in, and how much better we can make things for YOU in this beautiful but fragmented mess we call Europe.

[EU–INC @euinc_petition]

The EU has a once-in-a-generation chance to deliver on a bold new measure with the potential to vastly improve life for scores of startup founders, operators and investors.

But Europe risks Europe-ing itself out of the opportunity.

@pmoe @tiboel Thank you @pmoe - love you back :) @tiboel looks amazing and just like what we been involved with, check https://t.co/QwqNTOobgm - happy to chat!

Genuinely going insane.

Can't count how many times i had to explain this to politicians:

"No, it's not easier to update 27+ (semi-digital) government registries and introducing 27+ legal entities, instead of introducing a new clean modern digital one.

Plus, it defeats the goal – you end up w/ 54+ entities and platforms instead of one pan-European standard."

This is where its at! Have a quick read, reach out to us if you think you can help!

EU-Inc is close to the finishing line (of the first stage) 🇪🇺

All the politicians in Brussel want "something like it". It's the #1 item on the commission's strategy. Now the hard part is to make sure the politicians have the ambition to get the details right.

You can have the same goals, but if you stack-rank priorities differently, don't understand details, or simply lack political ambition you easily end up with something useless.

We will need your help – now and over the next weeks.

First up, I wrote up a quick primer that gets you up to speed with everything that happened so far and WHICH details are important to get right.

It also gives a bit of insight into the repeating discussions we constantly have with Brussels and member states.

If we as European startup scene get this right, and implement EU-Inc cleanly – as something that startups can actually use – we will create the biggest leapfrog improvement for startups and tech-innovation in Europe in our lifetime.

Here the details: https://t.co/MOqfZaQnmM

Let's get this done.

💯 A hundred days just passed since we submitted the 16,000 strong petition and the final blueprint for the 28th Regime to Commissioners @Michael McGrath and @Ekaterina Zaharieva.

What happened since then ⬇️

[Simon @SimonSchaefer]

Oh yes, thanks for the write up @itsolelehmann! @euinc_petition FTW - LFG!

[Ole Lehmann @itsolelehmann]

While the US produces unicorns weekly, Europe's founders drown in paperwork across 27 different countries.

But 15,000+ tech leaders just forced the EU to finally address its biggest innovation killer.

Why "EU Inc" could make Europe the world's most powerful startup ecosystem:

[Simon @SimonSchaefer]

This is what is needed, the EU-Inc is the infrastructure to make it happen. We need it fast, ambitious, api first, online first and above all things user centric with a top notch UX client of this (policy)-product are startups!
https://t.co/hocFgitNhy for what we designed

LFG!

"LET'S BREAK THE CHAINS!" says President @vonderleyen as she calls European fragmentation unbearable. We agree!

Fragmentation kills early stage momentum and makes scaling startups much harder.

@vonderleyen: "Europe is the cradle of innovation". The EU inc will unlock this. 🚀

@andreasklinger If racetracknis omitted, .1 😎

[Jens Lapinski @jenslapinski]

We need EU Inc to make European companies independent of the US Delaware C corp and to usher in a renaissance of investing in European Startups. With Trump at the helm, this is becoming a strategic necessity for Europe.

Our First Episode is up:

PROXIMA FUSION – Europe's Most Ambitious Startup 🇪🇺✨

Every industry in the world will be redefined once we reach energy abundance – there is one company in Europe hell bent to make that happen as soon as possible.

I went to visit them in their office and their lab – and I am taking you, with my camera, along.

Teaser attached – Please watch, like, comment, and subscribe on Youtube – We need the algorithm there to pick it up! Full link in the reply 👇

Let's make this series together: Let me know what you like? – what you don't? – what can i do better? – and who I should interview next! 🔥

[Simon @SimonSchaefer]

@elonmusk What do you think will happen to the dollar when you do this?

[Andreas Klinger 🦾 @andreasklinger]

Back in Brussels 🔥

Full day meeting with the comission and the EVP @HennaVirkkunen

We’ll discuss topics like 28th regime / @euinc_petition and a few other topics.

It will be a quite large meeting. They invited a lot of people.

Seems like Brussels waking up. 👀
