What is eu/acc?
eu/acc, short for European Accelerationism, is a movement launched in April 2024 aimed at revitalizing Europe's competitiveness and innovation landscape. It operates as a platform where tens of thousands contribute to a crowdsourced manifesto outlining actionable policy recommendations to save Europe. The movement focuses on reducing regulatory burdens, fostering entrepreneurship, and embracing technology to position Europe as a global leader.
The platform tracks progress on its proposals, with notable achievements including the European Commission's plans to scale down GDPR, water down the AI Act, and repeal cookie laws. It advocates for initiatives like creating a pan-European business entity (EU Inc.), reforming tax policies for startups, and promoting skilled immigration. By engaging with policymakers and the public, eu/acc drives discussions on deregulation and innovation to accelerate Europe's economic and technological advancement.
