EIC Council calls for broad marketing campaign, support and flexible visa solutions to attract American talent, research bodies advise Europeans not to feel guilty about “brain theft” and a window of cleantech opportunity opens
European campaign to recruit startup talent
The European Innovation Council (EIC) recommends launching a dedicated marketing campaign this year to attract startup founders and their employees from “advanced Americans,” European professionals currently employed in the U.S., and foreigners facing visa uncertainty (Science BusinessIn addition, it is proposed to establish a help desk to provide practical support in the transition and a central recruitment system for European startups, as well as to allow those eligible for a startup visa to easily extend it to another country in the EU.
Alongside this, a central recruitment platform will be established that brings together startup jobs from all member states – from small ventures to unicorns – and will connect founders with the tech talent they need. Another initiative will focus on granting a startup visa for the first five years, with the possibility of easy extension to another European country without the need for renewed application procedures.
The EIC program fits into the previously announced €500 million “Choose Europe” investment package, which is designed to encourage research and technology settlement in Europe and provide grants to foreign researchers and entrepreneurs. However, the report emphasizes that Europeans will not be able to compete with the budgets of the US and China, and therefore they must adopt an “active market creation” strategy: promoting public and private purchases of local technologies, developing financial insurance programs to finance fundraising rounds, and strengthening cooperation with pension funds and institutional investors.
American scientists? It's generosity, not guilt
In parallel with the recruitment of entrepreneurs, the scientific body Federation of American Scientists (FASAS) is calling on Europe to continue promoting programs to attract American researchers who want to escape budget cuts under the Trump administration. Erica Goldman, the federation’s policy director, stressed that “this is an act of generosity, not exploitation” and that this can save careers that could disappear in the US (Science BusinessAccording to Goldman, it is important not to get stuck in feelings of guilt, as the researchers may later return to the US when conditions there stabilize, and the international connections that were built will return with them.
American Cleantech – An Opportunity for Europe
The regulatory and budgetary hostility in the US creates a rare opportunity for American cleantech companies to move to Europe. Jigar Shah, former head of the US Department of Energy’s assistance offices, notes that companies have already undergone initial evaluations for American projects and the process could be “simple replication” by the Europeans, thereby shortening approvals and accelerating investments (Science BusinessHowever, it is important to ensure regulatory stability, which is one of the key criteria for these companies, and to set systematic and clear conditions in the ongoing process of simplification of European regulation.
Support and budget packages
As we have already published, a “Choose Europe” package of €500 million was recently launched to attract scientists and startups until the end of 2027. , while under the Clean Industrial Deal, over €100 billion has been allocated to support European production of clean technologies, including shortening licensing procedures for 47 strategic projects (Science BusinessInvestment experts are also calling for institutional savings, such as pensions and life insurance, to be directed to European venture capital channels and for increased collaboration with government ministries and the public sector to create demand for “Made in Europe” entrepreneurs by 2030.
Clark Parsons, CEO of the European Startup Network and a US expatriate, notes: “A whole generation of founders and technology leaders are looking to contribute to building Europe as a global player. We are all tired of facing ridicule in Washington and Silicon Valley. If the commission can tap into our enthusiasm and allow us to found, fund and grow here, we may look back on the Trump presidency as a victory.”

Obviously. Everyone is running to Europe. That's why in every video when those who rail against the US are asked why they don't move to another country, they never have an answer. And especially why they don't move to one of the dozens of Islamic countries that actually run the global agenda. After all, everyone is so sure that science will simply thrive under the new Islamic empire that is emerging in Europe, just as it thrives in all Islamic tyrannies around the world, under the culture whose most prominent arts are the arts of mind engineering, mass murder, silencing, oppression, lies, and the distortion of history, reality, and facts. Good luck to humanity.
Daydreams that American-born scientists will move to Islamo-communist Europe
Great to fuck the senile idiot redhead as much as possible!!!;;
