EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports the 28th regime as a tool to unlock growth and investment for innovative sectors but wants flexible share classes, digital share transfer rules, harmonised insolvency rules, and inclusion of labour and tax law modules.
Allow the creation of flexible share classes such as preferred shares and non-voting shares to attract venture capital and private equity investment.
“Recommendation 5: The inclusion of flexible share classes is critical. The regime must explicitly allow for the creation of preferred shares, non-voting shares, and other structures commonly used by venture capital and private equity firms.”

Implement harmonised and simplified insolvency rules to provide a predictable and efficient process for business failure, reducing the cost of failure and encouraging entrepreneurial risk-taking.
“Recommendation 8: Harmonised and simplified insolvency rules are essential. A predictable and efficient process for business failure, while not desired, is a reality of innovation. Reducing the "cost of failure" encourages entrepreneurial risk-taking, which is the lifeblood of our sector.”
