60 seconds for Europe: We are launching a euro hype video edit competition! Remember our hype video from last year? We want to 1000x that. So we partnered with some bigger pro-European social media accounts to spread this far and wide. @NXT4EU @Frid45 @POTFES Know an incredibly capable, young editor that loves to do short-form, high energy edits? Send this to them! Theme: Europe invented democracy, industry, capitalism and much of modern science. We are a continent of high culture, deep history and extraordinary civilizational achievements. Now Europe is being reshaped by crisis, war and geopolitical realignment. At the same time, a new generation of Europeans is building frontier technology, advancing science and creating new culture in pursuit of a stronger, more prosperous and unified Europe. That energy deserves to be celebrated! We want a high-energy, ~60-second edit about what inspires you about Europe and why you are excited for its future. Be ambitious, observant, artistic, optimistic, unique — and above all, yourself. More infos, and submission here: euromaxxing.fr/ @euromaxxing_fr

Actively monitoring the situation…

Genuinely going insane. Can't count how many times i had to explain this to politicians: "No, it's not easier to update 27+ (semi-digital) government registries and introducing 27+ legal entities, instead of introducing a new clean modern digital one. Plus, it defeats the goal – you end up w/ 54+ entities and platforms instead of one pan-European standard." 🤯

EU-Inc is close to the finishing line (of the first stage) 🇪🇺 All the politicians in Brussel want "something like it". It's the #1 item on the commission's strategy. Now the hard part is to make sure the politicians have the ambition to get the details right. You can have the same goals, but if you stack-rank priorities differently, don't understand details, or simply lack political ambition you easily end up with something useless. We will need your help – now and over the next weeks. First up, I wrote up a quick primer that gets you up to speed with everything that happened so far and WHICH details are important to get right. It also gives a bit of insight into the repeating discussions we constantly have with Brussels and member states. If we as European startup scene get this right, and implement EU-Inc cleanly – as something that startups can actually use – we will create the biggest leapfrog improvement for startups and tech-innovation in Europe in our lifetime. Here the details: klinger.io/posts/eu-inc Let's get this done. Please RT/like this post 🙏

Back in Brussels 🔥 Full day meeting with the comission and the EVP @HennaVirkkunen We’ll discuss topics like 28th regime / @euinc_petition and a few other topics. It will be a quite large meeting. They invited a lot of people. Seems like Brussels waking up. 👀

FYI Never liked the "MEGA" "Make Europe Great Again" brand. Never used/encouraged it. Long before Musk. Mainly b/c I never understood why Europe should copy US marketing, or import their bipolar obsession with culture wars Europe needs its own brands, stand on its own feet 🇪🇺
