28th Regime
Currently our fragmented markets costs the EU €1.3 trillion every year, limiting Europe’s ability to grow new internationally competitive companies. What is needed is
As a core topic in the EAIS agenda, our goal is to support the EU Commission and EU Parliament in understanding how to create a 28th regime that truly enables European startups to launch and scale up their businesses by leveraging an EU “single market” from day one.
This event presents and opportunity for you to voice your ideas on what should be included 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.

Europe’s Pension Funds Investing with VCs and Angels in Startups
With this topic in the agenda, we want to debate why and how institutional investors such as pension funds and insurance companies should be crowded in to Europe’s VC asset class. In the US, pension funds represent the backbone of the VC LP community, providing key anchoring funding to the numerous VC funds in the States. 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.

AI Investments and Regulations by the EU
With this topic in the agenda, we wish to shed light on upcoming AI related investment plans and regulations that are being considered at the EU besides debating these topics together with startup founders, investors and technology experts. AI is considered the next technological revolution of our times and is already shaping the way we live, work and do business.
Europe has fallen behind the rest of the world when it comes to technological leadership in this domain, however it leads the world on regulating the use of this technology to protect citizens rights. How can Europe catch up and become a leader in this domain also from an innovation perspective?
