Centred around the strategic industries of the future, the EAI convenes focused task forces to remove barriers to progress across the major technology centres of Europe. EAI's approach is informed by past European projects that achieved scale and speed, such as the TGV, the Messmer Plan, and the Large Hadron Collider. Its library includes essays and proposals from figures like Ian Hogarth, [[Mario Draghi]], and [[Patrick Collison]]. **[[2025-05-02]]**: [Operators & Friends](https://operatorsandfriends.com/) is a European initiative launched in February 2024 by Alex Krass, Juhana Peltomaa and Michelangelo Pagliara. It focuses on strengthening the "European Operator Layer", a network of startup operators. The group organizes in-person sessions across cities such as Berlin, London, Stockholm, and Helsinki, aiming to foster deep, trust-based connections among operators.

It aims to reduce regulatory fragmentation by introducing a standardized company regime, featuring a digital registry, a unified investment instrument (EU-FAST), and a continent-wide employee stock option plan (EU-ESOP). The goal is to make it easier for startups to incorporate, raise capital and retain talent at a European scale. The initiative draws inspiration from the US, where most startups incorporate as [[Delaware C-Corps]] to access a trusted, investor-friendly legal framework.
