I believe that facilitating the process of starting a business entirely online in the EU is essential for fostering innovation and economic growth. Eliminating the need for physical offices, notaries, and lawyers will make the entrepreneurial journey more accessible and efficient for everyone. This modernization aligns with our goal of making Europe a leader in the digital economy.

I believe that while supporting new businesses is important, exempting them from corporate tax for the first three years is not the right approach. Our focus should be on creating a fair and competitive environment where all businesses contribute to public services and infrastructure, ensuring sustainable economic growth.

I believe the EU should consider directing a portion of private retirement pension funds towards investing in startups. This approach can foster innovation and economic growth across Europe. By investing in dynamic new businesses, we can promote job creation and competitiveness in the European market, while also potentially increasing returns for pension funds. It's crucial, however, to manage these investments prudently to ensure the security of the funds.
