I strongly believe that the EU should celebrate entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs drive innovation, create jobs, and boost economic growth. By fostering a culture that values and celebrates entrepreneurship, the EU can encourage more people to start businesses and take risks. This celebration can inspire young talent and support the integration of cutting-edge technologies and ideas, helping Europe to compete globally and build a prosperous future.

We should not regulate AI too strictly as it has the potential to drive innovation and economic growth. Over-regulation may hinder creativity and slow down technological advancements that can benefit society at large.

Artificial intelligence should be embraced as it will bring about more growth opportunities than challenges. Instead of causing mass unemployment, AI will create new jobs and industries we haven't imagined yet.

In my experience, index funds often outperform managed portfolios for the majority of investors due to lower costs and market-matching returns. They simplify the investment process and reduce the risks associated with active management.

I believe financial education should be mandatory in high school. Understanding how money works is essential in today's world, and it equips young people with the skills they need to make informed financial decisions. This knowledge can help prevent debt issues and promote better financial management in adulthood.

While copyright laws may need reform to keep up with the digital age, abolishing them entirely would harm creators and stifle innovation. The protection of intellectual property is essential for a healthy economy and cultural diversity.

While employee stock ownership can align interests and incentivize staff, it can also create challenges. For startups, focusing on cash compensation and allowing employees to buy in at a certain stage may be more beneficial for early stability and decision-making without the pressure of too many interests pulling in different directions.

Employees should be empowered to manage their own finances, including Social Security contributions. This approach promotes financial literacy and independence, allowing individuals to make decisions that best suit their personal and familial needs. It also encourages a culture of responsibility and planning for the future.
