How this has evolved

8 events on record

  1. Revolution in the EU: a company in 48 hours, no capital, no bureaucracy

    Lider covers the Commission's EU Inc. proposal as a unified pan-EU corporate framework, with 48-hour online incorporation under 100 euros and no minimum capital. The article frames the 28th regime as an optional tool to keep European startups from relocating to the US or Asia, with first registrations expected in 2027.

  2. EU confirms: Croatian companies will be able to operate anywhere in the EU (no need to set up new ones!)

    Netokracija reports on Ursula von der Leyen's Davos announcement of EU Inc., framing it directly for the Croatian startup audience: existing Croatian firms could operate cross-border under one unified set of rules without re-incorporating in every member state. The article describes the '28th regime' as an optional, digital-by-default corporate form.

  3. Company in 48 hours: EU prepares new supranational legal regime

    Lider previews the upcoming 28th regime as a voluntary supranational legal framework that would let businesses incorporate under EU rules instead of national law. It highlights the 48-hour online setup promise but also flags concerns from trade unions and some member states about worker protections and tax competition.
