 v>Critics of the EU often argue that the EU only regulates\, whilst the US 
 innovates. There is indeed an innovation gap between the EU and the US\, du
 e to the fact that young entrepreneurs still struggle to expand in the EU’s
  complex and fragmented market. To counter this\, the European Commission h
 as launched an ambitious Start and Scale Up Strategy. The talk will focus o
 n how that Strategy is unfolding. It will focus in particular on what is be
 ing done to create an innovation-friendly regulatory landscape for start- a
 nd scale ups. How to make the promise of the Single Market really come true
 ? Is it a question of cutting regulation or being smarter about EU law?</di
