🚀 Kudos to Andreas Klinger, Simon Schaefer, Philipp Herkelmann, and Vojtech Horna for co-initiating the The EU Inc Petition (thanks  Philipp for bringing it to our attention). EU Inc — is designed to revolutionize how startups operate across the continent. We are delighted that Future Energy Ventures is on board as a supporter of this crucial movement! European startups are facing challenges due to the need to navigate 27 different national legal systems, complicating investment processes and cross-border operations. The entity is a proposed legal framework “28th regime” that would standardize investment processes and simplify cross-border operations.  This is a huge leap forward for Europe’s tech scene, paving the way for more growth, capital, and innovation. The European Commission will make their decision on this game-changing proposal by early December. Fingers crossed! 🤞 👉🏻 Sign the petition here and get it on their agenda: https://www.eu-inc.org/ PS: Operating in the energy system scaleups start understanding the real costs of fragmentation. Maybe one day we will even see holistic, unified European energy regulation? #EUStartups #euinc #TechForEurope

Another year, another State of European Tech report published by Atomico. https://lnkd.in/gUkXTYEY Europe is going strong - capital invested into startups 2005-2015 is less than capital invested to startups in 2024. This is 10x growth! 🚀 🚀 🚀 If we could continue the pace, imagine what the next decade will bring us... #vc #startups #europe
