With every new idea and announcement comes questions and moments of doubt. Europe has long sought to compete with the United States and China in technology and innovation.
One challenge that keeps coming up is fragmentation. Different legal systems, different compliance rules, and different ways of doing business across borders.
The introduction of EU Inc., a single set of corporate rules that could apply across the European Union if it goes through, could be one of the most important structural changes for startups and innovation in Europe over the next decade. We are expecting a final decision by the end of the year.
We still have many conversations about digital transformation, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence. But without the proper basis, none of that is feasible.
Regulation, organization, and market access still determine the pace of innovation. EU Inc. is an effort to address it.
Will it, however, fulfill its promise? Will it become a reality? Or will the gatekeepers of policy prevent it from taking off?
