Europe is producing world-class founders, frontier technologies and ambitious scale-ups. The next challenge is ensuring these companies have strong exit pathways so that value, talent and capital can continue to grow within Europe.
In a new article for the LSE Blog, @Juanita64738981, Associate Professor at LSE and Co-Director of the Financial Markets Group, together with @RobynVidra from King’s Business School, examine why Europe’s focus should not be on pressuring founders to list domestically or directing capital through policy measures alone.
Instead, they argue that Europe needs to make exits — through IPOs and acquisitions — attractive enough that staying becomes the rational choice.

Rather than integrating into U.S. critical mineral alliances, Vietnam has emphasized its desire to achieve domestic industrial upgrading and, as a result, strategic autonomy. buff.ly/m8u12Du

Strangely enough, the literature on “state capacity” – including that on industrial policy and on the entrepreneurial state – says very little about the people who staff the higher ranks of the state thediplomat.com/2025/07/bird…
