imo: In Europe, almost every significant issue has layers of legislation designed to protect large industries and corporations. These laws often prioritize corporate interests over solving real societal problems. I would argue that more freedom for startups to innovate in spaces like Pharma, Industry, Resource Efficiency, Public services... would benefit society as a whole. However, this requires two key things: 1) substantial investment $$$, and 2) navigating through the mentioned layers of bureaucracy and "protective" (protecting who) laws.

For me, again my opinion, It’s been really frustrating trying to find investment for some MVPs, only to have ideas shut down by these barriers.
