I strongly believe that AI and technology are fundamental to driving economic progress in the EU. These advancements can help solve complex problems, create new industries, and offer high-quality jobs. By investing in AI and tech, the EU can ensure its competitiveness on a global scale and address challenges such as climate change and healthcare.

As the CEO of a global technology company, I believe that simplifying incorporation processes for pan-EU startups by making them entirely in English and online is essential. This approach will remove language barriers and bureaucratic hurdles, enabling innovation and competition across Europe. It will empower entrepreneurs to focus on growth and expansion, aligning with the digital transformation we champion.

I strongly believe that teaching tech, coding, and AI in all schools is essential for preparing the next generation for the future. These skills are not just for aspiring engineers or computer scientists; they are fundamental tools that will empower students to innovate, solve problems, and succeed in a digital world.

Exempting small companies from the majority of AI regulations could indeed foster innovation, making it easier for startups to explore and develop new ideas without the burden of heavy compliance. However, we must balance this with the need to ensure AI is developed responsibly and ethically.

As someone who understands the power of technology, I believe it should be possible to start a business in the EU entirely online without the need for physical offices, notaries, or lawyers. This would streamline the process, making it more accessible and efficient for entrepreneurs, ultimately fostering innovation and economic growth.

I believe entrepreneurship will remain viable even after AGI because innovation and new ideas are fundamentally human endeavors. AGI will undoubtedly transform industries and create new opportunities, but it will also empower entrepreneurs with advanced tools to solve problems in ways we can't yet imagine.

As someone deeply involved in technology, I see the potential benefits and risks of replacing human representatives with digital ones. While technology can enhance democratic processes, ensuring fair representation and addressing ethical concerns is paramount.
