The EU is Changing the Game for Startups – But Is It Enough? 🚀
The European Commission is preparing the Startup & Scale-up Strategy to make the EU more competitive against the U.S. and China. The strategy’s key promises:
✅ New legal form “EU Inc.” – startup registration in 24 hours without a notary and with no minimum capital
✅ Unified business rules across all EU countries – simplified corporate, tax, and labor regulations
✅ More venture capital – attracting private investments through the “Savings and Investments Union” mechanism
✅ “TechEU” program – a new initiative to finance technology companies
But there are still questions:
⚠️ How will the EU attract and retain top talent?
⚠️ What will happen with Europe’s complex tax system?
⚠️ What role will the strategy play in startup IPOs?
Experts believe that without tax incentives for investors, a flexible visa policy, and a well-developed stock market, the EU risks falling behind the U.S. and China.
