Today, alongside @EUCssrMcGrath, we received the @EUInc_Petition—a blueprint for the 28th regime supported by over 13,000 signatures. This vital input will shape our Startup and Scaleup Strategy and the European Innovation Act. Excited to build EU global tech leaders together!

🇳🇱 The Netherlands ranks among the worst globally for startup stock option policies, making it hard for startups to attract and retain talent. Now there is a movement to change it. Sign a petition started by Dutch founders, operators and investors: flywheel.ing

EU-ESOP, a unified pan-European stock option scheme for startups, is one step closer to becoming a reality following the President of the European Commission’s call for one set of rules' for startups. #notoptional reuters.com/markets/europe…

🇪🇺 We welcome the recommendation of EU Securities Markets Regulator @ESMAComms that the EC should evaluate whether the introduction of a pan-European vehicle in EU law would help to reduce barriers for cross-border employee share schemes and support their widespread adoption.

Germany has done it! For years, 🇩🇪 has had the worst stock options policy. Yesterday, it passed a new legislation that catapults Germany into having one of the best employee ownership schemes, globally. After 5 years of #NotOptional, change is coming! cnbc.com/2023/11/17/ger…

@elonmusk, this is the @IndexVentures ranking @RishiSunak was talking about! UK is doing really well. Germany is the worst but legislation is now going through. 🤞 Thanks for highlighting the importance of options! 🙏

🇩🇪 Currently, Germany has the worst stock option policy in Europe. But that may soon change! 🤞 @indexventures analysis of the new legislative proposal shows that, if adopted, it would catapult Germany to the top ranks. #notoptional 1/3

🇬🇧 Congrats to the UK! Today it introduced a new scheme that opens up stock options to all startups. After 2 years of campaigning and working with the UK government, #notoptional delivers another win for European startups and their employees! notoptional.eu/en/news/articl…

4/4 The Ministry of Finance considerations look promising, giving employees the option to choose when taxation occurs post-exercise and allowing them to avoid paying tax on grant. We hope these plans turn into concrete actions, since they will benefit the 🇧🇪 startup ecosystem!

3/4 This is a dry taxation issue, and makes stock options much less attractive for Belgian startups and founders to utilise to attract and retain the #talent they need to thrive.

1/4 Encouraging signs coming from 🇧🇪, where the Ministry of Finance is considering a reform of the taxation framework for stock options. bit.ly/3lbRNvR
