EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Calls for a single, simple, pan-European startup company form that is flexible, inclusive, and future-proof to support innovation and cross-border operations.
Create a unified European startup entity accessible to all startups across Member States, not fragmented into multiple versions or limited to certain types.
“Introducing 27 harmonised but still distinct versions of a startup entity defeats the purpose. We need one simple, pan-European standard: clear, predictable, and accessible across all Member States.”

Design the legal infrastructure to be flexible, inclusive, and not burdened by bureaucracy or outdated assumptions, to accommodate the unpredictable nature of startups.
“The legal infrastructure must be flexible and inclusive, rather than being tailored only to todays models. A truly European startup entity must be built for everyone, not buried in bureaucracy or shaped by outdated assumptions.”

Open source underneath
WhoShapedIt is a thin layer on open-source packages. Star them, fork them, build your own micro.
Open-source context and state for AI: it keeps only what matters for the question.
In WhoShapedIt: Reads every lobby submission and position paper and each official text, cut into passages, and judges each passage against nine questions (who can use EU Inc, workers on the board, tax…), so every ask and every step is read on the passages that address it.
Open-source Svelte components for clean, accessible interfaces.
In WhoShapedIt: The status, the timeline, the theme picker, the camps of lobbies and the organisation pages.
