EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports simplifying company formation and reducing bureaucracy to make Europe competitive for startups but wants the proposal to focus on practical competitiveness rather than legal harmonization details.
Allow founders to incorporate in any EU country regardless of residence, similar to choosing a US state for incorporation.
“If this proposal fails, it would be interesting to allow founders to incorporate in any EU country of their choosing, regardless of residence, just like it's possible in the US to choose your US state of incorporation.”

Make company registration fast, simple, and low-cost like in the US or Estonia, allowing online incorporation with minimal steps and fees.
“Founding a German GmbH involves around 15 steps, costs at least 1k, and takes around 6-8 weeks. Compare this with the US, where it's around 100 USD or less and is done almost instantly in one step.”

Simplify tax compliance, especially VAT for SaaS companies, and reduce reliance on expensive tax advisors who lack expertise in this area.
“The complexities of handling EU VAT eat up a huge share of founder's time as there's no elegant software solution, and most tax advisors don't know their way around SaaS.”

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.
