The Manifesto

Project Europe aims to drive European innovation. It does not follow any existing political movements and will remain independent of political parties and ideologies.


A core pillar of Project Europe is to encourage the next generation to take more risks and make entrepreneurship more acceptable in European culture.


Project Europe Founders can move their businesses outside of Europe, or build a remote organisation across continents. We primarily care about the creation of more tech companies with European roots.


The vision for Project Europe is that it becomes an independent organisation promoting entrepreneurship at the grassroots level with more founders and partners contributing for future cohorts.
