VC | E381 | eu/acc's Benoit Vandevivere on revolutionizing European startup policies and building a unified ecosystem


Listen Later

In this episode of the EUVC podcast, Andreas talks with Benoit Vandevivere, CEO of Consentio and a driving force behind the eu/acc movement.

Benoit is an advocate for innovation and technology in Europe, frequently speaking on the global stage for tech founders, policymakers, and institutions such as the NYSE and the European Commission. Together, we’ll dive into the origins and mission of the eu/acc movement—what it is, why it matters, and how it’s rallying founders and policymakers to create a unified European startup ecosystem. We’ll explore the root challenges facing Europe, from market fragmentation to scaling barriers, and the actionable solutions that the EU Accelerationism movement proposes to accelerate progress.

We’ll also uncover the latest on key initiatives like the “10-second investment process” and the EU Inc movement, both designed to simplify and strengthen Europe’s innovation landscape. If you’re passionate about driving change and empowering European founders, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
