To encourage the emergence of true European technological giants, entrepreneurs and investors are asking for help from Brussels. In a petition launched on Monday October 14, they ask for the creation of an “EU Inc.”, a pan-European legal status for #startups on the continent. For the signatories, European start-ups are at a disadvantage. They have to deal with 27 different legal frameworks. A single legal status could represent a solution. This would be created as part of a “28th regime”, replacing the 27 national regimes and making it possible to harmonize the rules within the single market. #waterstartups SCUBIC - Smart Software SolutionsShaypWatergenicsOceanWellAquacyclWater Ledger Global

Excited news: Reforest'Action enters the blisce/technology’s portfolio with a €20m financing! 🌳🚀 Did you know that more than 50% of the world's GDP is heavily dependent on nature and the services it provides (PwC, World Economic Forum)? To contribute to the Paris Agreement's +2°C target, the world must mobilize $6,000 bn by 2050 to finance reforestation and agroforestry (UNEP-WCMC, 2022). Well, Stéphane Hallaire's company understood that long ago and has been investing in the development of a comprehensive impact monitoring tool to effectively measure and further maximize their impact. Today, the global leader in hashtag #reforestation and hashtag #agroforestry since 2010 is moving a step further in its efforts by partnering with blisce/ and Eiffel Investment Group. This aims to: 📲 Digitalize and enhance the comprehensive information and hashtag #data analysis system, as well as key performance indicators. 🌍 Accelerate the development of large-scale high-quality certified projects of natural ecosystem restoration. 🐒 Put the emphasis on their impact on the climate as well as biodiversity, soil-water systems, and communities. Together, we are committed to protecting Reforest'Action's truly inspiring mission and supporting innovative solutions that address pressing global environmental issues toward a more sustainable future.

More capex investments are eagerly required for critical mineral mines to achieve our transition to net zero. Fierce battles for large Copper prepayments are starting to emerge (e.g. Mercuria & Trafi with ERG) but the scope of required metals is of course much wider. Including critical minerals in UN SDGs would be a great first step to unlock more capital investment into the sector.

From Desk 4! July 8, 2024 Good morning, The second round of French elections took place yesterday, with an unexpected twist, as Marine Le Pen's far-right Rassemblement National party, which won the first round of elections, slumped to third place with 143 seats. The left-wing New Popular Front won 182 seats, while President Macron´s centrist Ensemble alliance won 163 seats.  289 seat out of 577 are needed to be able to form a government. President Macron called for snap parliamentary elections to clarify the political situation, however with these results, waters are muddied than they have been in a long time, as no party reached absolute majority. A quiet Monday worldwide with the lack of relevant data, however, investors will be waiting for the few, but valuable economic data released ahead on in the week. Asia-Pacific stock markets closed lower this Monday, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng leading losses in the region, falling -1.55%, followed by mainland China´s Shanghai Composite which slipped -0.93%. European markets are positive by mid-day, with Spaniard IBEX leading wins in the region so far, jumping 0.48%, while German DAX is +0.42%. Wall Street is positive after opening with Dow 0.42% and Nasdaq 0.23%. As we said before, we have few, but significant data on the week; Tomorrow we'll have Fed's Chair Jerome Powell testifying on his semiannual Monetary Policy Report before the Senate Banking and Housing Committee in Washington. In the Asia-Pacific region China will announce its June inflation, while in New Zealand, the RBNZ will deliver its Monetary Policy Rates decision, where no changes are expected.   On Wednesday, the President of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Joachin Nagel, will give a speech, and later Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will testify for a second day to the Congress, this time before the House Financial Services Committee. We also have some members from the BoE and the Fed speaking. On Thursday, Inflation data in Germany and the US, and GDP in the UK. And on Friday, Inflation data in France, Spain and we will finish the week with PPI and the U. of Michigan consumer sentiment.  Central bank decisions from South KOrea and Malaysia will also be announced this week, with no changes expected. Oil is $82.54 USD per barrel, Gold is $2,385.80 USD per ounce, the T10-YR is 4.2803, the British Pound is 1.2844, the Euro is 1.0840 and the Peso is testing the 18 barrier again, any break of it could lead Peso to the 17.90 level, which is the next support. Have a nice week ahead.

Speaking with President Macron in New York yesterday during UN General Assembly week, we emphasized France's outsized role in the innovation economy. General Catalyst has invested over $500Mn in leading startups in the country like Mistral AI and Shift Technology, and I have seen myself the talent density especially in AI through organizations like STATION F. The French have immense opportunity to lead in AI by promoting a competitive landscape—engaging incumbents while promoting home grown startups and allowing startups to thrive without a burdensome regulatory scheme. Their leadership in advanced energy through nuclear power will not only support the AI revolution domestically, but can be exported to allied countries around the world which we desperately need.  As my partner and Head of GC Europe Jeannette zu Fürstenberg says, we believe Europe should have the ambition to create 3 of the 10 largest global tech companies. Between France and other leading European countries, with a set of balanced policies that allow European tech companies to grow, this is possible. At GC we are partnering with policymakers to build towards that ambition. #UNGA Cc: Teresa Carlson Maryam Mujica Chris Bischoff Alexandre Momeni

Paris Europlace Crypto-Assets Working Group, chaired by Hubert de Vauplane, welcomes #ESMA consultations on reverse solicitation and on the qualification of #crypto-assets as financial instruments. We appreciate ESMA's approach in determining a broad concept of solicitation, as well as the means and persons involved in which a third-party firm could solicit EU clients, to protect investors and #MiCA-compliant crypto-asset service providers. This approach will help avoid differences in interpretation, ensuring a fair level of #competition between EU crypto-asset market participants. Regarding influencers -a concept that has no definition in European law-, such a concept could lead to large divergences of interpretation between Member States and run counter to the principle of predictability of law. Conversely, the use of general clauses or online pop-up “I agree” boxes, whereby clients state that any transaction is executed on the exclusive initiative of the client, is deemed to be reverse solicitation. Concerning the qualification of crypto-assets as financial instruments, regulation should offer an appropriate degree of legal #protection and facilitate the distinction between crypto-assets within the scope of MiCA and crypto-assets assimilated to financial instruments. Opting for a holistic approach is key, enabling Member States to move forward in an harmonised way on the assimilation of crypto-assets to financial instruments, without the criteria set in place being too strict to rapidly risk becoming obsolete. We thus fully support the technologically neutral approach proposed by ESMA. Given the diversity of the list of securities implemented in jurisdictions and to avoid regulatory shopping within the EU, a Q&A should be produced by ESMA to list examples, for each Member State, for which some crypto-assets could be reclassified as financial instruments under national law. This Q&A could be updated and provide the EU crypto-asset market with global visibility on the qualification risk with a goal of harmonisation within the EU. This Q&A could also serve as a regulatory monitoring tool for the legal status of crypto-assets and help ESMA identify any lack of harmonization. All in all, crypto-assets should be subject to the exact same rules as other traditional financial instruments in line with the principle of technological neutrality. A substance over form approach needs to be adopted to determine if a crypto-asset is qualified as a financial instrument.  Many thanks to all contributors, especially Hubert de Vauplane Philippe Goutay Emilien Bernard-Alzias Myriam Dana -Thomä Matthieu Lucchesi Frederick Lacroix Hugo Bordet Please read the document here: https://lnkd.in/eDMrNWNb European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) – France

Recent discussions have brought the issue of debt in France to the forefront, revealing a complex narrative of denial and contradiction. The Challenges article highlights how the French public and policymakers have long engaged in a sort of collective hypocrisy regarding national debt. While France boasts a strong economic foundation, the persistent issue of debt remains a significant concern. On one hand, there is a widespread tendency to downplay the severity of France's debt situation, often attributing it to cyclical economic factors rather than structural issues. On the other hand, the government continues to grapple with balancing fiscal responsibility with the demands of public spending. This dichotomy presents a unique challenge for France's economic future. Marcus Magarian Olivier Klein Amine Tazi
