The Bank of Italy has announced a conference in Rome on Nov. 12, 2026, to examine a proposed European Union regulation establishing a 28th company law regime and introducing EU Inc. The proposal would give businesses the option of using a uniform framework instead of national legal regimes, with the aim of simplifying company formation and supporting growth across the Single Market. Discussions will address the framework’s relationship with national company law and venture capital, alongside its potential economic effects. The program also examines whether the regime could support more integrated banking groups across borders. A separate session will compare the proposal with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law’s Legislative Guide on Limited Liability Enterprises, including protections for creditors and minority shareholders.
