With its progressive approach to digitalization and innovation, Estonia offers a business-friendly environment and numerous advantages that make it an ideal base for growth and expansion 📈. Why Estonia? 🖥️ e-Residency – Estonia is the first country in the world to offer an e-residency program. This initiative allows entrepreneurs from anywhere to establish and manage Estonian companies entirely online, without requiring physical presence 🌐. 💸 Tax System – Estonia applies a unique corporate income tax approach—companies pay no income tax until profits are distributed as dividends. This allows startups to reinvest all earnings directly into growth 💼. ⚙️ Digital Infrastructure – Estonia has one of the most advanced digital infrastructures globally, facilitating swift company formation and management. Establishing a company online can be completed within hours ⏱️. 🇪🇺 Access to the EU Market – As an EU member, Estonia provides entrepreneurs with seamless access to the entire EU market without excessive bureaucracy ✍️. 🌱 Startup Support – Estonia actively supports innovation and its startup ecosystem through incubators, accelerators, and startup-focused programs 💡. If you’re looking for the perfect place to establish and grow your startup, Estonia should be at the top of your list ✅.

Estonia is well-known for its thriving #startup ecosystem, boasting the highest number of startups 🚀 (1,090 per million) and unicorns 🦄 (4.5 per million) per capita in Europe. This success can be attributed to the country's welcoming stance towards foreign talent and investors, supported by a range of innovative initiatives and policies like ➡️ E-Residency Program (launched in 2014) allows anyone in the world to apply for a digital ID card that provides access to Estonia's digital business environment. Thus far, more than 103,000 people from 170+ countries have applied for e-Residency, establishing over 25,000 Estonian companies. ➡️ Estonian Startup Visa (introduced in 2017) stands out by simplifying the process for eligible startups to operate in Estonia and enabling them to hire talented non-EU individuals. For example, TransferWise (now Wise), one of Estonia's most successful FinTech companies, was co-founded by a non-Estonian. ➡️ Events and conferences, such as Latitude59 - which has a startup-investor ratio close to 50-50. Our Matti Rönkkö will be attending the flagship startup and #tech conference in #Estonia from Wednesday 20 - Friday 22 May to help this community keep punching above its weight!  _  If you're a entrepreneur tackling the biggest problems in the built environment, be sure to book a meeting via the Brella app ♾️

The EU Inc Petition has collected over 13,000 signatures urging the EU Commission to create a single pan-European startup entity under a ‘28th Regime‘ in the 2025 Work Programme 🇪🇺 🤝 This ’28th Regime’ aims to streamline cross-border operations, enhance competitiveness, and foster innovation across the European continent. The EU-Startups team is in full support of this initiative. In fact, we’ve been advocating for a new European and startup-friendly legal entity form since more than six years now. Our suggestion was to ceate a “EU Limited” or Eltd as a legal entity which would be able to move its headquarters freely within EU borders and be taxed on a EU level. The EU-Inc concept goes into this direction, and we’re excited to see this new grassroots initiative pick up speed. https://lnkd.in/dA7Z_2uR

Read below my coverage of the The EU Inc Petition's efforts in including a European startup entity, or '28th Regime', in the EU Commission's 2025 Work Programme.

In the US, the percentage of companies being founded by European expats has risen. The funding gap between Europe and the US is bigger than people think. Without a serious change at government level, the EU is really not great for businesses, and better late stage funding options, we will keep seeing a negative impact on the overall startup impact in Europe as most of the successful late stage companies are moving to USA or elsewhere to keep raising and scaling up.

Inspiring to read the below insights by Jochen Knecht on how IFZA is using the model of Strategic Partnerships to drive growth of ecosystem for new business setup as well as support the startups and SMEs to scale. Startups need to further understand and adapt the model of partnerships to drive their growth once they launch in UAE. It's amazing how businesses can bridge their limitations and gaps when they start building synergies with other entities and scale their success.

At day 1 of Slush, one thing stood out for me. Europe has the talent and ideas to lead the global startup scene. Yet, valuable founders are leaving for the US because regulations are easier there. Andreas Klinger, who founded EU-Inc, points out that there’s no unified European startup ecosystem. Every country has its own rules, which slows down growth for startups. The solution? A single legal entity for startups that works across all EU countries. He envisions one EU registry where you can set up your company and use unified regulations for stocks, compliance, and all the other essentials a startup needs to grow. You’d still keep your HQ in your own country (and pay taxes there) but gain access to the collective knowledge and resources of this EU registry. He compares it to an API, connecting startups with service providers to create value. It’s a straightforward idea, let founders focus on building products instead of navigating legal complexities. And yes, member states still benefit, taxes and revenues remain local. Why does this matter? If we don’t act, Europe risks becoming a “subscription service” for American innovation. Without better infrastructure and funding, startups will keep leaving or we’ll continue relying on American services. Andreas believes Europe can absolutely lead the way. But it’s up to us to make it happen.
