Brussels will offer support for the establishment and growth of businesses
The European Union has unveiled an ambitious plan to bolster the startup sector, introducing a new regulatory framework known as the 28th regime for startups. The initiative, part of the broader "Choose Europe to Start and Scale" strategy, aims to ease administrative burdens and pave the way for cross-border activities, thereby expediting the market entry and expansion of young businesses.
Central to the 28th regime is a harmonized set of rules, which will apply uniformly across the EU for issues related to insolvency, labor, and taxation. The harmonization is expected to minimize complexities and costs, making it more straightforward for startups to navigate the regulatory landscape.
In terms of insolvency, the new regime aims to reduce the financial fallout of failure by streamlining the process, allowing companies to recover swiftly from setbacks. The labor regulations will also be standardized, ensuring consistency across member states, which should reduce hiring and restructuring complexities. Tax rules will be simplified as well, with a focus on easing bureaucratic hurdles for startups expanding their operations across different EU countries.
In addition to the 28th regime, the European Commission is also planning to introduce the European Business Wallet. This digital tool is designed to facilitate seamless digital communication between businesses and public administrations, potentially reducing the need for paperwork and manual verification processes. The wallet is scheduled for implementation in the fourth quarter of 2025.
These measures are intended to make Europe an attractive destination for startups, who often face complex regulatory challenges. The hope is that these initiatives will help to foster innovation, growth, and competitiveness within the EU's startup ecosystem.
