On 12 November, the conference on '28th Regime, EU Inc. and Other Attempts to Unify Company Law' was held at the Carlo Azeglio Ciampi Conference Centre in Rome. The event examined European initiatives to establish a harmonized corporate legal framework.

The discussions focused on the proposed'28th regime' and 'EU Inc.', which envisage a common set of corporate law rules that firms could adopt in place of national legal regimes. These initiatives seek to streamline business incorporation and support the cross-border expansion of firms within the Single Market.

Representatives from institutions, academia and the business community discussed the main legal and economic implications of the proposal. The conference was structured around four sessions, covering the key features of the proposed framework, its potential economic impact, the relationship between corporate law and venture capital, and the Legislative Guide on Limited Liability Enterprises by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).
