           Thank you @BrusselsTimes for spotlighting this crucial topic 🙏 — Europe’s #startups & #scaleups! We can’t afford to lose innovative companies, jobs & ideas to other continents. It’s time to ensure that they have real opportunities to grow here in Europe! 💡🇪🇺 Read my article⬇️ 
           🇪🇺 start-ups are world class but too many move abroad in search of funding, talent or easier #markets. How can they escape the "Valley of Death"❓ Let's find out w/ Rapporteur @_MiraMaria_ for the @BrusselsTimes

             🇪🇺 start-ups are hubs of #innovation but too often due to lack of #capital & overregulation many relocate or sell out to foreign competitors. The 🇪🇺 must adopt a scaling-up mindset in all business-related policies 🎯 #Act4EUCompetitiveness

             💭 To improve #youth prospects in the 🇪🇺 we need to promote #entrepreneurship as a valid & attractive path alongside salaried work.

             The 🇪🇺 Startup & Scaleup Strategy is a crucial step forward. We welcome the #Innovation Stress Test that the #EESC had proposed. Every country should adopt it to ensure that new laws support - not stifle - #innovation 💡 
           🚀 The 🇪🇺 EU’s Startup and Scaleup strategy will help our companies grow by: 🔹making rules simpler and more innovation-friendly 🔹boosting access to finance 🔹facilitating talent attraction 🔹improving access to infrastructure and services ➡️ More:

             This @EU_Commission strategy is very much needed. We can’t afford to lose our start-ups & scale-ups. When they relocate we loses talent, #innovation & #investment 💶 The 🇪🇺 must act now to close finance gaps & not wait for the next #MFF🎯 @steph_sejourne #Act4EUCompetitiveness

             📍The #SingleMarket is the backbone of 🇪🇺’s #economic strength, yet it remains incomplete & underutilised. This is a structural failure that we can no longer afford. We will discuss this & more at the #DelphiEconomicForum from 9 to 12 April 2025. Stay tuned ❗ @DelphiEconForum

             It has to be loud and clear: we expect the 🇪🇺 to deliver on its promises, to complete the #SingleMarket, remove barriers, reduce the regulatory burden, invest & innovate. This is what the EU’s #competitiveness strategy should bring about. This is what EU companies expect. 
           61% of businesses see EU regulation as an obstacle to investment. Creating a business-friendly 🇪🇺 is a top priority to increase #investment & #innovation 📈 Read the interview of our President @StefanoMalliaEU for Malta Business Weekly ⤵️

             We welcome the #Competitiveness Compass but we urge the @EU_Commission to translate it into action ‼️ Despite announcements, we still lack results. We need concrete proposals designed hand in hand with those who have to implement them. Alongside Compass, the 🇪🇺 needs Engines 🚂 
           Our first major initiative will be a Competitiveness Compass. Building on the 3 pillars of the Draghi report. Innovation, decarbonisation, security. Everyone in the team will contribute. Starting by unlocking the financing needed for the green, digital and social transition.
