“Together we will aim to address growth challenges faced by European tech companies, advocating for a political commitment to targeted and risk-based regulations.”
“The upcoming months will be critical to unleash the full potential of Europe’s tech companies and establish its leadership both domestically and globally.”
The following can be attributed to Stripe’s Head of EU Public Policy, Sandrell Sultana:
“As a company with strong European roots, we’re excited to join the EUTA. Many of Europe’s fastest-growing start- and scale-ups are building on Stripe, and they tell us that the regulatory environment they operate in plays a key role in determining their success. We’re keen to share feedback with EUTA from European businesses using Stripe, and share ideas about the role policymaking can play in strengthening Europe’s tech ecosystem.”
