Imagine this future scenario:
Tamas and Marie launch a startup under the EU’s virtual 28th Regime. They form an EU-INC, registered online in 24 hours via EU-REGISTRY. Early investment comes through EU-FAST, converting into shares later. Their team gets unified EU-ESOP stock options - while taxes, social security and labour rules remain under each country’s local laws.
If you want this future, tell your MEPs to push these proposals.
Google has proposed ad tech updates after a €2.95B EU antitrust ruling, offering publishers more pricing control and expanding interoperability across its services. The company still plans to appeal the decision.
