EU Startups urge policymakers to fight talent shortage

“Today, the avail­abil­i­ty of tal­ent, not the lack of cap­i­tal, is the biggest bot­tle­neck to growth of Euro­pean startups”: Leading European startups, including Farfetch, HelloFresh, DeliveryHero and Taxify, have signed a letter urging EU policymakers to address what they see are restrictive regulation for rewarding employees with stock options. Startups lobby to create an EU-wide system based on the successful models of Estonia, UK and France.
