One would assume better late than never is still a good idea in our times, but in some cases, late can sometimes not be enough. Fortunately, at least we have a start, and for many of us rather anxious about the European Union's future (especially myself) we at least have some way of moving forward. The recently released report on the future of European competitiveness clearly puts the #digital aspect at the centre of it - without innovation, and digital innovation, we cannot move forward. More than 30% of the #EU unicorns have left the European Union and set up their headquarters somewhere else, including the only Romanian unicorn so far, UiPath, which is now registered in New York instead of Bucharest. To add to that, here's a very unpleasant statistic from the EU report that needs to drastically change - there is no European company with a market capitalisation of over 100 billion EUR made in the last 50 years. 0. America has eaten the European lunch time and time again, and it's crucial for the European Union to act as quickly as possible in order to give the chance for European companies to compete at a global scale. There's a significant investment shortfall in capital intensive companies, as evidenced very easily by the fact that there's a significant disparity in between available Venture Capital funds in the European Union compared, for example, and not only, to the United States. There's three main details, highlighted within the report, that (to my eyes) are crucial: 📌 Regulation simplification. The EU regulates the bad, but also regulates the good, preventing innovation. 📌Technology needs to be front, left and center in European industries. 📌European investment (EU funds? Sovereign wealth funds from EU countries? EU-bloc bonds?) directly into crucial sectors to help innovation and offer large amounts of capital to develop. We need to move. Fast. The EU is unfortunately behind, and it will need to catch up. #EuropeanCompetitiveness #EuropeanUnion
