The state of innovation in Europe
summary
Europe shows growing deal volume but still has no European company in the top‑20 internet valuations, and scaling — not idea creation — is the bottleneck. Policy specifics mentioned include tackling single‑market fragmentation, easier startup visas and harmonised immigration, and new funding channels: an EIC instrument offering 250k–2M EUR grants per startup and a proposed €10bn pool for 2021–27. Other concrete proposals: tax reform for digital firms, public‑private reskilling programmes, and better early‑stage VC risk appetite.
