👨👩👧 No personal account before 15.
🔒 Between 13 and 15: parent-opened and monitored mini-accounts.
⏳ Screen time restricted to 1 hour.

Europe has the talent, the research and the startups.
Now we need to turn that strength into commercial success.
We adopted the European Innovation Act and a Recommendation on regulatory sandboxes.
Our message: Trust our innovators. Build Europe’s future with them. 🇪🇺 (1/2)
Momchil Sabev retweeted
Europe spends €2 trillion a year on public procurement. Only 0.6% is for R&D. Imagine the breakthroughs we could bring to market! We propose faster, simpler procurement and stronger support for startups. (2/2) commission.europa.eu/news-an…

How can public institutions help Europe’s startups scale globally? 🇪🇺🚀
We spoke with @MomchilSabev, Director of the @EUeic and @EU_EISMEA, about Europe’s fragmented startup #ecosystem, the EIC’s role in #DeepTech, and why mentorship, partnerships, and expertise can matter as much as funding.

We are tabling two packages - two major shifts for Europe’s economic leadership.
Our EU Innovation Act will help start-ups access finance and navigate the world of R&D procurement.
And we are revamping public procurement rules.
Making them simpler, clearer and more focused on our environmental, social and innovation goals.
And, where it matters, on Made in Europe.
