The Startup Meets Policy Dialogue: Rethinking Policymaking to Propel Startups Growth in Europe

European startups continue to face fragmented, unclear and overlapping regulations, bureaucratic hurdles, and uneven market access when scaling beyond their home countries. This session will bring together startup founders and policymakers to address key barriers and discuss solutions for a more integrated European startup ecosystem.

  • Are European startups at a disadvantage compared to the US and Asia?
  • How can policymakers help startups scale cross-border without excessive compliance costs?
  • Is it time for the EU to rethink its traditional regulations-first stance and begin to take informed steps towards becoming innovation-first?
