Remarks The platform supports data-driven policymaking - at regional, national and European levels - by providing macro-level trusted insights into the growth potential of various startup ecosystems.
It has already informed and will be an important tool to monitor progress towards, for example, the targets set out in the recent Commission Communication on the 2030 Digital Compass (COM(2021) 118 final) and the impact of the EU Startup Nations Standard adopted by 25 Member States to date.
A follow-up ‘European Startups 2.0’ project would support the consolidation of the platform and its transition to becoming a self-sustaining resource available to policymakers and other private and public technology ecosystem holders in the medium- and longer-term.
Startups and scaleups are key to Europe's future economy and society.
They have become a significant contributor of new, quality jobs and are by far the fastest and most resilient growing job engine with 10% year-on-year growth.
Two million people are now employed in tech startups across Europe and this is expected to rise to 3,2 million by 2025.
Startups and scaleups have a proven capacity to develop breakthrough innovations in response to real world needs, create new jobs and build synergies with Europe’s strong traditional industries.
The role startups can play in the recovery from the ongoing crisis - and in accelerating the green and digital transformation - cannot be understated.

Remarks The New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative, announced by President von der Leyen in her 2020 State of the Union address, is an environmental, economic, social and cultural project, aiming to combine sustainability, investment, affordability, accessibility and design in order to help deliver the European Green Deal and its overarching goal for the Union to become the world’s first ‘climate-neutral bloc’ by 2050.
Values and idea.
The core values of the NEB are sustainability, aesthetics and inclusiveness.
Its ambition is to develop an interdisciplinary framework to support, facilitate and accelerate the green transformation by combining sustainability, innovation, circularity and quality of experience, including aesthetics.
This framework will embrace industrial, educational, artistic and cultural spheres creating bridges between science, research, technology and enterprises, on one hand, and culture, architecture, art and design, on the other hand.
It will also help to promote social inclusion, including affordability and accessibility.
To sum up, the NEB is about finding innovative, creative and suitable solutions to complex societal problems (in buildings and beyond) through co-creation.
