Now we have to get Ukrainian defense companies eligible to be inside the coming EU Inc regime. Could make it way easier for European capital to invest.
How can we help get the insurance part rolling? Have not heard this idea expressed before. Germany is an insurance heavyweight. Happy to help work on that.
As usual, this emotion is best expressed by music.

Not sure how to bring in trade unions when their leaders fought against it from day one like it was an attack on workers. Now they’ve gotten all they want from Parliament except a solution for handling German co-determination laws, which no one wants to have imported via EU-Inc.
Nice news for the European ecosystem. And of course @ylechelle is in the room. ;-)
US-based @nvidia, the chipmaker behind the #AI infrastructure buildout, has announced planned minority #investments in four French startups: @doctolib, @entalpic_ai, Genesis AI, and Pigment. 🇫🇷 🤖 🚀

This is the way. Investors with real operational/ founder experience are helping Europe level up everywhere. Congratulations!
They should be careful to not tip off the trade unions defending workers‘ interests against exploitation like this. 🙃
Awesome news. Love seeing smart people see a gap and build the solution. You’re filling a huge need. Wishing you guys every success.
At a startup site visit to Heidelberg University today, had the exact same thought. Stumbled upon a small display of all of Kirchoff and his friends hanging out in Berlin and inventing whole new fields of science and technology in the 1870s.
Super data set and a great service to Europe's ecosystem. Bravo @filipdames and the @CherryVentures team!
Today we launched Heartbeat.
Most data on European startups starts at the first funding round.
So we went earlier: 10,000 companies founded in 2025 and 2026, 9,000+ founders, 89 cities, tracked from incorporation to first institutional round.
Tell us who we missed!

Great to be in Brussels this evening for the launch of 'Startups for Europe', the successor to both @Allied4Startups and @EUStartupNet. Well done all in getting the new organisation off the ground!

60 seconds for Europe: We are launching a euro hype video edit competition!
Remember our hype video from last year? We want to 1000x that.
So we partnered with some bigger pro-European social media accounts to spread this far and wide. @NXT4EU @Frid45 @POTFES
Know an incredibly capable, young editor that loves to do short-form, high energy edits? Send this to them!
Theme:
Europe invented democracy, industry, capitalism and much of modern science. We are a continent of high culture, deep history and extraordinary civilizational achievements.
Now Europe is being reshaped by crisis, war and geopolitical realignment. At the same time, a new generation of Europeans is building frontier technology, advancing science and creating new culture in pursuit of a stronger, more prosperous and unified Europe.
That energy deserves to be celebrated!
We want a high-energy, ~60-second edit about what inspires you about Europe and why you are excited for its future.
Be ambitious, observant, artistic, optimistic, unique — and above all, yourself.

Loved this conversation. Will always remember the one word he looked for in a job interview: effortlessness.

Yesterday, 16 EU Member States - led by 🇦🇹, 🇩🇪 & 🇮🇹signed a Joint Declaration to end national gold-plating
@VDombrovskis "EU law should be implemented, not buried under extra national rules, reporting requirements and bureaucracy."
Notaries: For EU Inc, "national requirements will apply"
Member States, @EP_Legal , @vonderleyen , we hope you prevail ending the gold-plating and that no national requirements apply to EU Inc, that it goes notary-free.
We count on you so that the notary lobby doesn't get a special cartel gold-plating pass and we see you walk the talk.
