The eu/acc Charter, Marketplaces, Redistribution | Three Interesting Things for W/C 2024-05-12
🇪🇺 The eu/acc Charter
Following on from my previous article on eu/acc which was mention in the FT and Marginal Revolution, I co-authored the movement’s charter with Andreas Klinger. This initiative aims to accelerate progress in Europe through innovation, technology, and a European-positive mindset. The charter promotes a unified approach to creating a vibrant tech ecosystem, valuing local identities while advocating for a Pan-European innovation superhub. It emphasises a data-driven approach, practical technological advancements, and enabling policymakers to support entrepreneurs. If you believe in Europe's potential for progress, I invite you to join the discord and contribute to this vision by signing the petition.

Understand what this research means for social policies and wealth distribution debates here.
