Скачать или смотреть Fixing EU Digital Rules: What Urgent Changes Do Startups Need Most?

What needs to change urgently to make Europe a better place to start and scale a tech company? In this conversation, European startup founders, CEOs, and investors discuss the obstacles holding back innovation and the fixes that could make a difference.

The panel shares why current regulations are confusing, fragmented, and costly – creating barriers for early-stage startups, and why transparent, practical rules are essential for growth.

Experts also dive into key ideas from the 28th Regime (EU-Inc), a proposal to simplify EU company law with a pan-European legal entity and digital-first registries. They discuss solutions to reduce bureaucracy and the importance of EU regulations that are clear, understandable, and adaptable to fast-moving technology.

Panellists:
Elena Churilova, CEO, Cino
Christopher Coomes, CEO, X1 Pipeline
Masha Moisseyeva, Founder Ogni and MD DutchBasecamp
Robin Wauters, COO and Board Member, European Startup Network

Moderator: Andy Bounds (EU Correspondent at the Financial Times)

This panel discussion took place at the ‘Simplify EU Tech Rules. Unlock Innovation.’ event on 3 December 2025 in Brussels, organised by the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA Europe).
