MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN
European Accelerationism is a movement to deregulate and save Europe
Manifesto
This manifesto is continually crowdsourced by tens of thousands of people like you on how to save Europe.
π 1. Reduce regulatory burden for startups
Europe should reduce the regulatory burden for businesses, streamlining the process of starting and growing companies, and encouraging innovation. By exempting businesses with annual revenues below β¬10 million from complex regulations like VATMOSS, GDPR, and the EU AI Act, we empower entrepreneurs to focus on creating great products and reaching market success without being weighed down by compliance.
π 2. Make skilled immigration easier, unskilled harder
Europe should prioritize making immigration seamless for highly skilled workers and entrepreneurs, offering them and their families the opportunity to live and work in any European country with competitive tax incentives. This way it can attract the best talent from around the world to come build in Europe.
πͺ 3. Repeal the cookie law
Repeal the cookie consent law, as it imposes unnecessary costs on businesses, creates a poor user experience, and completely fails at its goal to meaningfully enhance privacy protections. It also makes Europe a running joke.
ποΈ 4. European Inc: a single pan-European business entity
Europe should create a single, EU-wide business entity that eliminates the complexity of dealing with 27 different company registration requirements. Starting a business should be as easy as clicking a button online, without needing physical offices, notaries, or lawyers.Update: This is now being worked on at eu-inc.org
β’οΈ 5. Secure Europe's energy future with nuclear
Nuclear energy is one of the most sustainable and safe sources of energy available to humanity, yet it has been unfairly vilified for decades due to misinformation and outdated fears. In an era where Europe must reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and ensure energy independence, nuclear power offers a reliable, low-carbon solution capable of providing clean energy for generations.Modern advancements in nuclear technology have significantly enhanced safety measures, making it one of the safest energy sources available. It is time to embrace nuclear energy as a cornerstone of Europeβs energy strategy, to secure our future, protect the environment, and lead the way in innovative, sustainable energy solutions.
π΅ 6. Tax discount during startup phase
New European businesses should receive a discount of 0% corporate tax for the first 3 years, allowing them to focus on innovation without the pressure of financial strain. This also makes Europe instantly one of the most attractive places in the world to start a business.
πΈ 7. Tax stock options when sold, not when exercised
Europe should change its tax policy on stock options to tax them only when sold, not when exercised, so that it can compete globally in attracting top talent and entrepreneurs. Taxing stock options at the point of exercise creates significant financial pressure for employees and founders, who may not have liquid assets to cover the tax. This discourages risk-taking, limits the appeal of startup equity, and ultimately stifles innovation.
π 8. Embrace AI and technology, don't fight it
Europe should see tech and AI not as enemies but as crucial for its survival. While Europe currently lags behind, it can turn the tide by fostering an environment that encourages innovation rather than stifling it with premature regulation. AI can revolutionize industries like healthcare, education, manufacturing, agriculture, energy and of course software, and Europe needs to be at the forefront of this change.
π£ 9. Champion free speech, don't censor it
Europe should champion free speech as a cornerstone for shaping the future. Free speech is not an enemy of progress but a catalyst for new ideas and innovation. By protecting the freedom to express diverse viewpoints, Europe can create an environment where groundbreaking ideas flourish just like they did in Europe just a few centuries ago. A commitment to free speech ensures that the brightest ideas, even those that challenge the status quo, can shape the future of Europe and its place in the world.
βοΈ 10. Reform bankruptcy laws to empower entrepreneurs
Europe must modernize its punitive bankruptcy laws, which discourage risk-taking. By prioritizing restructuring over liquidation and protecting entrepreneursβ personal assets, it can foster a culture of innovation and give failed startups and their founders a second chance to thrive.
π 11. Teach AI and tech in European schools and universities
Lastly, to ensure the long-term prosperity of the Europe, Europe should teach tech, coding, and AI in all schools and universities. By equipping the next generation with these skills, Europe can secure its place as a global leader in innovation.How can you help?
