EU leaders risk breaking their promise to help European start-ups

European Union leaders are facing criticism for not fully delivering on their commitment to support start-ups, despite efforts to tackle the funding gap. The issue lies in the lack of harmonized regulations that would help these innovative companies remain within the EU. This inaction risks driving talent and innovation overseas, undermining the EU's competitive edge in the global market. The situation highlights a significant policy gap that could have long-term economic implications for the bloc.
