Post by The S9+ Coalition

One photo. Three communities. One shared challenge. Yesterday, during the joint #D9+, #B9+ and #S9+ sessions in Luxembourg, ministers, government representatives, businesses and startup leaders came together to discuss #Europe's digital future. There was strong alignment on the need to strengthen Europe's competitiveness, reduce fragmentation, accelerate digital transformation and support the next generation of European technology companies. The D9+ Luxembourg Declaration published today reflects many of these priorities, including simplification, digital sovereignty, scaling European tech companies and strengthening the Single Market. At the same time, the S9+ Luxembourg Declaration makes a clear case that startups must be part of the solution, not merely stakeholders, but a core pillar of Europe's competitiveness strategy. What has been standing out most in Luxembourg is a shared recognition that Europe cannot afford business as usual. Competitiveness, innovation and sovereignty require speed, ambition and execution. The challenge now is turning declarations into delivery. #D9Plus #B9Plus #S9Plus #LuxembourgDeclaration #Innovation #Competitiveness #DigitalEurope #Startups 📸 @SMC Communication House of Startups Luxembourg (HoST), PULSE — Luxembourg Startups Association, Startup Poland, Startup Portugal, Scale-Ups.eu, Dutch Startup Association, Finnish Startup Community (FSC), Czech Startup Association, Estonian Founders Society, SISP – Swedish Incubators & Science Parks, Danske Iværksættere - Danish Entrepreneurs, Startup Slovenia, Scale Ireland, Adigital & @EsTech
