🚀 Europe, it’s time to scale.

We are introducing EU Inc.:
🔸 Start a company in less than 48 hours
🔸 Fully online and borderless
🔸 No minimum capital requirement

To compete globally, Europe needs speed, scale, and strength.

This is how we get there.

@EUCommission As if that is the real problem people of Europe are facing today.

@tdr @EUCommission I think we really face that today. When you want to expand, we have to enter 27 different markets and register 27 branches. When you are in USA or China, you need only few branches.

So let's solve this.

@fersman @EUCommission The proposed EU Inc. framework misses the main concerns of most EU citizens. People are primarily affected by rising living costs, housing shortages, high energy prices, and pressure on public services and not by the legal complexity of setting up cross-border companies.

The EU has already introduced similar instruments, such as the European Company (SE) and the European Cooperative Society (SCE). These were meant to simplify cross-border business, yet their practical impact has remained limited. The reason is simple: the real obstacles are different tax systems, labor laws, and administrative practices and they still exist and are not fundamentally addressed by EU Inc. (2/4)

In reality, the proposal mainly benefits startups, investors, and larger companies seeking easier expansion. While faster digital registration sounds efficient, it does little to reduce the broader regulatory and economic burdens businesses face across member states. (3/4)

At the same time, the focus on corporate flexibility and investment conditions highlights a policy priority that is more aligned with capital markets than with everyday social and economic challenges. As a result, EU Inc. risks becoming another technical reform with limited real-world impact, rather than a solution to the structural issues affecting most people in the EU. (4/4)
