Main Programme
28th Regime
This event presents an opportunity for you to voice your ideas on what should be included in the 28th regime, what should be taken out, and comment on the legislative process within the EU to set up this sandbox jurisdiction for startups.
In Europe we lack the regulations and also the incentives to drive more risk taking by institutional investors. We believe that the EU can create the conditions to crowd in such investors, providing European VCs with the funding and ease of fundraising conditions they are lacking.
Europe’s Pension Funds Investing with VCs and Angels in Startups
Cross border investments are considered an enabler for startups to grow and scaleup in the EU. Startups receiving investment from investors located in multiple geographies can rely on the support from these investors in entering or expanding their presence in those new markets.
