In a radical shift away from the history and ethos of the United States, this decision plunges a considerable number of international talents, scientists, researchers, engineers and students into unprecedented uncertainty. Coupled with Brexit&rsquo;s unpredictability, this decision offers Europe a unique window of opportunity to take a competitive edge in the global competition for talents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to effectively do so, the European Union must act in line with its technological and scientific ambitions via the efficient deployment of a two-pillar strategy. First, the issuance of a five-year renewable work visa, valid throughout the EU, fostering higher mobility among skilled workers to come and create, build or innovate in Europe. This \u00ab&#160;European tech visa&#160;\u00bb would be a significant step towards a more unified skilled labour market and a major factor of competitiveness at a time when, everywhere else, borders are closing and international mobility is drying up. Second, member states of the European Union must agree on a jointly financed commitment to exempt these new migrants from income tax for the first two years of their contract, in order to make their net remuneration more attractive. Combined with European social protection and university exchange systems, these measures would form an attractive and competitive package capable of competing with powerful research funders such as Switzerland, Singapore or the Gulf countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the battle for talents, a united Europe can make skilled immigration a driving force of innovation and offset emigration flows of the scientific labour force trained in Europe. Innovative companies with strong technological components, from artificial intelligence to medicine and robotics, must be able to draw on a renewed pool of global talents. The positive consequences of skilled immigration on innovation, from which the United States seems to be turning away today, have been widely documented in the economic literature&#160;: between 1976 and 2012, immigrant inventors directly contributed to a quarter of all patents in the United States, and they proved to be 40&#160;% more productive than the average American inventor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would therefore be a political mistake for the EU, but also a considerable economic opportunity cost, not to seize this unprecedented moment. At a time when a historic recovery plan is being drafted, the EU Heads of State and Government are expressing a desire for solidarity-based reconstruction and economic and fiscal harmonisation. A common visa and tax credit for technological and scientific talents would give a concrete effect to this effort. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a time when a historic recovery plan is being drafted, the EU Heads of State and Government are expressing a desire for solidarity-based reconstruction and economic and fiscal harmonisation.
