To give Europe’s many innovative entrepreneurs every opportunity to become world leading companies is the main aim of the Commission’s Start-up and Scale-up Initiative, according to the official release. It pulls together all the possibilities that the EU already offers. Vice-President Jyrki Katainen, responsible for Jobs, Growth, Investment and Competitiveness, said: “Today’s local start-ups could become tomorrow’s global success stories. We want to help start-ups stay and grow in Europe. By helping them navigate the – often perceived – regulatory barriers to fully benefiting from the Single Market. By making it easier for them to have a second chance, without being stigmatised if their idea doesn’t succeed the first time around. And by improving access to funding by boosting private venture capital investment.”
While the start-up’s are supported, international banks create own cryptocurrencies. Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, considers the possibility of issuing a digital currency, named e-krona. According to the coinidol.com, banking cards or payments apps are used more often than cash in Sweden.Cecilia Skingsley, Deputy Governor of the Riksbank, noted at the FinTech Stockholm 2016 that the less those living in Sweden use banknotes and coins, the clearer it becomes that the Riksbank needs to investigate whether it should issue electronic money as a complement to the money we have today.”
