Start-ups and scale-ups are crucial for the EU’s competitiveness. They often bring to the market breakthrough innovative solutions for societal challenges.
However, their growth is still hindered by barriers, including difficulties in accessing private capital in the EU and in selling seamlessly across the single market.
The Commission would like to hear your views
The European Commission has launched a Call for evidence, inviting all interested stakeholders to contribute to the future EU Startup and Scaleup Strategy.
The Strategy will improve conditions for innovative startups and scaleups, enabling faster and simpler growth within the Single Market. It will address challenges such as access to finance, markets and talent, as well as regulatory and bureaucratic hurdles and market fragmentation. It will also facilitate access to state-of-the-art infrastructure, knowledge and services.
The Call for Evidence is available on the Commission’s ‘Have your Say’ portal in all official EU languages. Submissions are open until 17 March.
Every input will be taken into account as the European Commission further develop and fine-tune this initiative. Feedback received will be published on the European Commission’s site and therefore must adhere to the feedback rules.
