The EU Inc is happening!! 👀🚀 To get it done, we need YOUR help: 1) We need everyone, especially European founders, to contact their national politicians and tell them about the urgency of signing the EU Inc into law ASAP. 2) Please try to get onto national media, radio, podcasts, whatever else and talk about how crucial the EU Inc is for the success of startups, innovation and economic competiveness in Europe. The message needs to reverberate all across Europe. Remember: to get this across the finish line, the EU Inc needs to be accepted by the EU Council, that means it needs to be accepted by all 27 national governments. It is therefore vitally important we make our voices heard in all capitals and major cities of Europe. Politicians need to understand that this is a must-do for Europe's future.

This week in Brussels, I was pleased to receive a copy of The EU Inc Petition alongside my colleague, Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva. Signed and supported by 13,000 signatories, the Petition is a valuable blueprint that will feed into our work on the so-called 28th regime, which promises to make Europe more competitive and prosperous. What does this mean in practice? Today, if a company wants to scale up, it is confronted with different requirements in each Member State - that leads to an overwhelming 27 different rulebooks. We will offer companies the possibility of a 28th regime - one simple and single set of rules across the whole European Union that companies can voluntarily opt into. This will make it easier for companies to operate across the EU and reap the benefits of the Single Market. It will also help keep our Union competitive. This week the Commission also adopted the Competitive Compass – our engine for a more competitive Europe. Europe has significant strengths, including a robust manufacturing base, a highly educated workforce, and a large Single Market. However, we must address our weaknesses to regain competitiveness. The Competitive Compass sets the stage for a more competitive Europe. One pillar of it will be driving our productivity through innovation. This is where the 28th regime comes in as a crucial initiative that will support the growth of European businesses. I am pleased to lead the work on the 28th regime and to help make Europe more competitive. Full details of the Competitiveness Compass can be found here 👇 https://lnkd.in/edGmiCAd
