The Impact of Employee Share Ownership in Europe
Employee share ownership plays a pivotal role in fostering entrepreneurship in successful companies, leading to the development of ecosystems where employees become repeat entrepreneurs or angel investors. However, historically, Europe lacked a culture of employee share ownership due to unfriendly regulatory environments across different markets. Recent reforms in some European countries, such as the UK and Germany, have made employee share option schemes more attractive, contributing to the growth of startups and the overall entrepreneurial landscape.
