EU Inc (the 28th regime) · 2026/0074(COD)
Supports a pan-European digital-first 28th regime but wants it as a regulation with a single autonomous company form and fully digital setup.
Create a truly pan-European company form recognized across all EU Member States to enable startups to scale without legal fragmentation.
“a truly pan-European 28th regime a digital-first legal framework designed to empower startups to launch once, with their status seamlessly recognized across all EU Member States”

Avoid creating nationally adapted variants with only partial harmonization, which would increase fragmentation and compliance costs for startups.
“it remains deeply rooted in national corporate law systems and relies on voluntary opt-in by firms. Crucially, it rejects the bold yet necessary step of creating a single, autonomous European company form. Instead, it proposes nationally adapted variants with only partially harmonized elements. This approach risks entrenching fragmentation rather than resolving it.”

Design the regime centered on startup founders' needs rather than legacy incumbents to support innovation and growth.
“the 28th regime must be shaped with the needs of startup founders at its core, rather than primarily reflecting the interests of legacy incumbents. Startups are the engines of innovation and economic growth, yet they often face disproportionate challenges navigating legal and regulatory frameworks designed for large, established corporations.”

Implement a fully digital and standardized incorporation process allowing startups to establish their legal presence across all EU Member States through a single streamlined procedure.
“A fully digital and standardized incorporation process is equally essential to the success of the 28th regime. Such a process would enable startups to establish their legal presence across all EU Member States through a single, streamlined procedure”

Adopt the 28th regime as an EU-level regulation rather than a directive to ensure uniform legal framework and eliminate uneven national implementation.
“Unicorns Lithuania strongly calls for a change in the form of law, urging the adoption of a regulation in place of the directive currently under consideration. Only an EU-level regulation can establish a truly uniform legal framework, eliminate uneven national implementation”

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.
