Code vs. Compliance
summary
Claims that regulation both enables and strangles growth get concrete numbers and fixes: a EU-wide survey finds 80% of founders avoid specific European markets because of rules, about 30% typical spend on compliance (some up to 80%), and pilots burn 50–60% pilot costs on legal work. Examples include automated ecological monitoring prototypes using image‑ML, teams prototyping with OpenAI GPT that local rulings label risky, and sovereign‑cloud deployments that shift data offshore. Practical asks: harmonize overlapping rules and shorten unclear reporting times.
