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

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.

Wise Words, fully endorsed. Who will oppose you on your strategic objectives ? So now, how do you transform such aspirations into actions Mr president ? Is there any bipartisan alliance to push forward this agenda in the front row of the new Commission priorities and in your own divided country ? Often, the 27 are relatively close in terms of targets. But they diverge so considerably in terms of "how to" models, that we proceed half the speed of China and the US. Not to mention the national challenges. To be followed.

Exciting news from JPMorgan Chase & Co. at the Choose France Summit! I’m thrilled to have attended the #ChooseFrance Summit organised by the French national development agency Business France in Versailles today. Building on the momentum from our previous announcements with Bpifrance we are now proud to unveil the new milestones of the #Spark Bpifrance Funds aiming to finance funds in favor of diverse private investment firms or having a positive societal impact. JPMorgan Chase is committing up to $50 million to this initiative. Also delighted to share that 4 major French groups confirmed their commitment to a potential investment in this fund-of-funds initiative, targeting gender parity in the private equity investment firm ecosystem: LVMH , Ardian, BNP Paribas Cardif and FDJ - La Française des Jeux. That’s why with the CEO of Bpifrance Nicolas Dufourcq, we invited the representatives of these first 4 investors to the Choose France Summit, in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron and our Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon. With a target size of €150 to €200 million by the end of 2024 and managed by Bpifrance in close partnership with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, we’re excited about the impact of this collaborative effort.
