🚀  How we can 10x European Tech Investing, again   Over the past decade, European technology investment has grown tenfold. There is more capital, more companies and more ambition. However, to achieve the next tenfold increase and transform innovation into long-term prosperity, Europe requires structural change.   💡 Four levers will make the difference:   1️⃣ Activate growth capital: European tech companies still depend too heavily on non-European funds once they scale up. Mobilising pension and insurance capital could unlock ten times more tech investment.   2️⃣ Retain and attract talent: Europe has world-class engineers, but many leave for higher pay and equity opportunities abroad. Competitive compensation and stock option reform are key   3️⃣ Simplify regulation: A unified, innovation-friendly legal framework would speed up company formation and reduce friction. EU–INC is critical.   4️⃣ Unify capital markets: Europe needs one NASDAQ-style stock exchange to attract global capital for European  tech champions. European tech has proven its resilience. The next decade must focus on scale — building global leaders that remain based in Europe.   🔗 For more, Read our full blog to explore how: https://lnkd.in/dvEw9Q3S 👉 Or check out our loom recording: https://lnkd.in/dfv5PC9J #EuropeanTech #VentureCapital #GrowthEquity #Innovation
