We welcome the #Competitiveness Compass but we urge the European Commission to translate it into action ‼️ Despite announcements, we still lack results. We need concrete proposals designed hand in hand with those who have to implement them. Alongside Compass, the 🇪🇺 needs Engines 🚂

It has to be loud and clear: we expect the 🇪🇺 to deliver on its promises, to complete the #SingleMarket, remove barriers, reduce the regulatory burden, invest & innovate. This is what the EU’s #competitiveness strategy should bring about. This is what EU companies expect.

Keskeinen keino 🇫🇮 &🇪🇺pk-yritysten kilpailukyvyn vahvistamiseksi ja investointien edistämiseksi on puuttua maksuaikojen ongelmaan!⏱️ Komission ehdotus maksuviivästysasetuksesta on saatava maaliin. Väistyvä komissaari Margrethe Vestager asiasta samalla linjalla Suomen Yrittäjät kanssa

💬 AI will change things in the world of work & will define #economic winners & losers on a global scale 🌍 We won’t win this race by over-regulating but by investing in #research, #innovation, upskilling our workforce & equipping our SMEs for AI. Mira-Maria at #EESCPlenary

Komissio julkaisema 🇪🇺-Sisämarkkinastrategia on laaja, mutta uhkaa jäädä tilkkutäkkimäiseksi näpertelyksi jollei jäsenmaita saada sitoutettua yhteisen edun edistämiseen. ✍️Kauppalehti Kreeta Karvala kirjoitti kattavan jutun: kauppalehti.fi/uutiset/eun-si…

This European Commission strategy is very much needed. We can’t afford to lose our start-ups & scale-ups. When they relocate we loses talent, #innovation & #investment 💶 The 🇪🇺 must act now to close finance gaps & not wait for the next #MFF🎯 Stéphane Séjourné #Act4EUCompetitiveness

The 🇪🇺 Startup & Scaleup Strategy is a crucial step forward. We welcome the #Innovation Stress Test that the #EESC had proposed. Every country should adopt it to ensure that new laws support - not stifle - #innovation 💡

💭 To improve #youth prospects in the 🇪🇺 we need to promote #entrepreneurship as a valid & attractive path alongside salaried work. Young debate should be encouraged & supported to turn ideas into action 🎯 Mira-Maria at Youth debate w/ Glenn Micallef #EESCPlenary
