The Vision

We envision a Europe that is economically self-reliant, collaborative, and innovative.

Economic Independence

Building a resilient economy that reduces dependency on imports and strengthens internal supply chains.

Quality & Standards

Upholding the highest quality standards that European products and services are known for.

Sustainable Growth

Promoting economic models that prioritize long-term prosperity over short-term gains.

Better Incentives, Better Products

How tax-funded European initiatives can create superior products by aligning incentives with public good.

Current Profit-Driven Incentives

  • Maximize advertising revenue by capturing and selling attention
  • Design for addiction and engagement rather than user wellbeing
  • Collect and monetize personal data at the expense of privacy
  • Optimize for planned obsolescence to increase repeat purchases
  • Minimize product quality to reduce costs and increase margins

Tax-Funded Public Good Incentives

  • Optimize for user experience and satisfaction with no advertising pressure
  • Design for public health, wellbeing, and genuine utility
  • Minimize data collection and prioritize privacy by design
  • Build for longevity, repairability, and sustainability
  • Reinvest profits into innovation and improved services

The Tax-Funded Advantage

When digital platforms and services are funded through taxes rather than advertising or data harvesting, the incentives fundamentally change. Here's why this approach leads to better products:

Financial Sustainability

Tax funding provides stable, predictable revenue that allows for long-term planning and quality development, rather than chasing quarterly profit targets. This enables investment in durability and user experience over flashy features designed to drive engagement.

Aligned Incentives

When success is measured by public benefit rather than profit, products are designed to genuinely serve user needs instead of exploiting psychological vulnerabilities. This leads to interfaces optimized for efficiency and wellbeing rather than attention capture.

Democratic Accountability

Tax-funded services can be governed with public oversight, ensuring they remain aligned with European values and priorities. This accountability creates pressure to maintain high standards and respond to citizen needs.

Economic Circulation

By keeping European tax money within the European economy, we create a virtuous cycle where public funds support European jobs, innovation, and infrastructure, which in turn generates more tax revenue for further development.

Key Principles

Our approach to strengthening Europe's economic foundation.

European Digital Marketplace

Creating a unified digital platform that connects European consumers with local manufacturers and service providers. Unlike traditional marketplaces driven by advertising revenue, our approach focuses on:

  • Tax-funded infrastructure that prioritizes user experience over ad revenue
  • Transparency in supply chains and manufacturing processes
  • Optimization for public health and well-being rather than attention capture

Quality Over Quantity

Promoting products and services that embody European craftsmanship and quality standards. Our platform highlights:

  • Durability and repairability metrics for all products
  • Transparent information about materials and manufacturing practices
  • Support for traditional craftsmanship alongside modern innovation

Economic Circularity

Building systems that keep European resources, money, and value within our communities:

  • Investment in local manufacturing and production capabilities
  • Support for research and innovation that addresses European needs
  • Reduction of dependencies on external supply chains for critical goods
