🗯️ In Europe there is a deeper issue we do not address enough: how we deal w/ failure. If we are serious about the 🇪🇺 innovation capacity, we need to create the right environment because innovation means taking risks.

📌Broad consensus on the need to keep the dialogue open & get some tangible results, ie: the extension of the moratorium on e-commerce tariffs.

We welcome this positive vote by @Europarl_EN that supports a more predictable operating environment & gives #businesses better conditions to plan investments 🎯

EU-Yhdysvallat kauppasopimus hyväksyttiin EP:ssä - hyvä uutinen Suomelle jolle USA on keskeinen markkina. Tärkeä viesti myös EU:n kyvystä toimia luotettavana kauppakumppanina. Trilogit huhtikuussa. ⁦@suomenyrittajat⁩ ⁦@KarvalaKreeta⁩ juttu👇 https://t.co/M5DM39q8dS

Increased #competition, tariffs, supply chain disruptions: the 🇪🇺 cannot afford inaction. We need:

✅ Progress on #trade agreements
✅ #Diversification
✅ Competitive #industrial base
✅ EU unity

Excellent debate on #trade today w/ @Trade_EU, @BusinessEurope & @Eurochambres 🎯

[Mira-Maria @_MiraMaria_]

Uncertainty is the new #tariff. For businesses, unpredictable trade policy can be as damaging as tariffs themselves.

What happens when uncertainty becomes the new tariff in EU-US economic relations ❓For 🇪🇺 companies this is a reality. The remedy is urgent: #Europe must speak with one voice

Provisional application of #Mercosur agreement is decisiveness that Europe needs to show. Fewer tariffs, access to a huge consumer market, and new chances to grow, invest and create jobs. Openness and partnership are good for business and for Europe.

[Mira-Maria @_MiraMaria_]

⚠️Sending the #Mercosur for judicial review stalls a deal that is vital for Europe. By doing so, @Europarl_EN has failed to seize a crucial moment to show our trading partners that the EU is a reliable, predictable, and consistent actor on global stage. https://t.co/F4RE9WpKEV

[Mikael Pentikäinen @jmpentikainen]

Tämä on surkea uutinen. Nyt jos koskaan EU tarvitsisi uusia kauppakumppaneita maailmalla eikä kauppapoliittisia omia maaleja. Tämä uhkaa lykätä vuosilla Mercosur-sopimusta ja vaikeuttaa yritysten kasvua. #yrittäjät #mercosur https://t.co/7Hbbds2ulQ

Thank you @BrusselsTimes for spotlighting this crucial topic 🙏 — Europe’s #startups & #scaleups!

We can’t afford to lose innovative companies, jobs & ideas to other continents. It’s time to ensure that they have real opportunities to grow here in Europe! 💡🇪🇺

🇪🇺 start-ups are world class but too many move abroad in search of funding, talent or easier #markets. How can they escape the "Valley of Death"❓

Let's find out w/ Rapporteur @_MiraMaria_ for the @BrusselsTimes

#Act4EUCompetitiveness

[Employers Group of the EESC @employers_EESC]

🇪🇺 start-ups are hubs of #innovation but too often due to lack of #capital & overregulation many relocate or sell out to foreign competitors.

The 🇪🇺 must adopt a scaling-up mindset in all business-related policies 🎯

[Employers Group of the EESC @employers_EESC]

💭 To improve #youth prospects in the 🇪🇺 we need to promote #entrepreneurship as a valid & attractive path alongside salaried work. Young debate should be encouraged & supported to turn ideas into action 🎯

[Stefano Mallia @StefanoMalliaEU]

The 🇪🇺 Startup & Scaleup Strategy is a crucial step forward. We welcome the #Innovation Stress Test that the #EESC had proposed. Every country should adopt it to ensure that new laws support - not stifle - #innovation 💡

[Employers Group of the EESC @employers_EESC]

This @EU_Commission strategy is very much needed. We can’t afford to lose our start-ups & scale-ups. When they relocate we loses talent, #innovation & #investment 💶
The 🇪🇺 must act now to close finance gaps & not wait for the next #MFF🎯

@steph_sejourne #Act4EUCompetitiveness

[Mira-Maria @_MiraMaria_]

Komissio julkaisema 🇪🇺-Sisämarkkinastrategia on laaja, mutta uhkaa jäädä tilkkutäkkimäiseksi näpertelyksi jollei jäsenmaita saada sitoutettua yhteisen edun edistämiseen.

📍The #SingleMarket is the backbone of 🇪🇺’s #economic strength, yet it remains incomplete & underutilised. This is a structural failure that we can no longer afford.

We will discuss this & more at the #DelphiEconomicForum from 9 to 12 April 2025. Stay tuned ❗
