Seven European countries match US in startup-friendly laws, report says

A report by venture capital firm Index Ventures has found that seven European countries have changed their laws to boost employee ownership in startups, aiming to attract talent and investment. These changes align with the success of stock options in Silicon Valley, while Europe was hindered by bureaucracy and restrictive taxation. To keep pace with the US and China, the European Union requires coordinated industrial policies, prompt decisions, and significant investments. Germany, France, Portugal, and the UK are leading the way in employee ownership changes, while Finland, Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden received lower ratings. When startups go public, employee ownership results in tangible financial benefits.
