Response to 28th regime – a single harmonized set of rules for innovative companies throughout the EU

30 Sept 2025

The proposed 28th regime for innovative companies represents a timely and strategic initiative. A streamlined EU-wide corporate framework aiming to harmonise key aspects of a company's operations, from taxation and labour law to investment documentation, to a degree that would allow companies to incorporate in 48 hours and operate seamlessly across borders, could be transformative for the EUs innovation landscape. Given the anticipated challenges in reaching unanimous agreement among all 27 Member States in the initial stages of negotiations, particularly on politically sensitive issues such as taxation and labour law, EIT Manufacturing recommends a pragmatic legislative path grounded in enhanced cooperation. As we see the strategic importance of this initiative, we urge the European institutions in a swift implementation in Q1 2026, perhaps through the use of AI tools to facilitate the process and mapping standard forms into national regulation.
