Description
Despite the ambitions of the Single Market, startups and investors continue to face regulatory and legal fragmentation when operating across borders. As Europe seeks to strengthen its competitiveness, the proposed 28th Regime offers a unique opportunity to simplify the rules governing innovative businesses and create a more seamless environment for entrepreneurship and investment. This session will bring together policymakers, investors, and ecosystem leaders to discuss how a harmonised European framework could reduce barriers to cross-border angel investing, support startup scaling, and improve access to capital across Member States. Drawing on policy developments and practical perspectives from the investment ecosystem, speakers will explore the opportunities, challenges, and key design considerations for building a truly integrated European market for startups and their investors.
