Italian Minister of Enterprises and Made in Italy Adolfo Urso met EU Commissioner for Startups Ekaterina Zaharieva in Bologna, with talks centered on the reform of the single European corporate framework (EU Inc., the 28th regime) and the Scaleup Europe Fund. The meeting signals direct Italian government engagement with the trilogue-stage file.
Italian SME confederation Conflavoro reviews the EU Inc. proposal from the perspective of Italian small and medium businesses, welcoming the 48-hour, sub-100-euro digital incorporation but flagging the technical adaptation needed for the Business Register. The piece argues the framework complements rather than replaces existing Italian startup and innovative SME rules.
Federnotizie, the publication of Italian notaries, analyses how the EU Inc. proposal (COM(2026) 321) would let companies be set up entirely online via the BRIS system without mandatory notarial involvement. The piece argues this directly challenges Italian notaries' historical gatekeeping role in incorporations, by-law changes and share transfers.
Adnkronos's Eurofocus desk explains EU Inc. as an optional 28th regime sitting alongside the 27 national systems, with 48-hour digital incorporation, no minimum capital and harmonized governance, management and insolvency rules. The piece highlights the structural problem the proposal addresses: 27 corporate law systems and over 60 legal forms across the EU.
Il Sole 24 Ore (Radiocor) reports on the European Commission's unveiling of EU Inc., an optional digital pan-European corporate framework serving as the 28th regime alongside the 27 national systems. The piece frames the initiative as a move to remove single-market barriers and curb capital flight to the United States.
Economyup walks through the 107-article draft regulation approved by the Commission introducing EU Inc., highlighting full digitalization, minimal capital requirements, ESOPs and streamlined insolvency. It also flags open questions on notary involvement and integration with Italian national law.
Milano Finanza details the Commission's EU Inc. proposal, which would let entrepreneurs incorporate across Europe in 48 hours for under 100 euros via a single online process. The article frames it as a remedy to fragmentation across 27 national systems and over 60 corporate forms, aimed at retaining European startups.
Startupbusiness's year-end review on the Italian startup ecosystem cites the EU's 28th regime / EU-Inc as a fundamental element for European competitiveness, urging that it arrive as a regulation rather than a directive. The piece captures sector advocacy in the run-up to the Commission's March 2026 proposal.
