Trump’s $100,000 H-1B fee sparks a global race to grab top talent cnbc.com ("the newly imposed six-figure fee for H-1B visas could deliver a shot in the arm to global talent hubs seeking to attract skilled workers. “It definitely could be painful for the U.S. in terms of innovation,” Monchau told CNBC’s “ Europe Early Edition” on Monday. It could be an opportunity for the U.K., it could be an opportunity for Europe, for locations like Dubai, for instance, or maybe China … Because obviously if the U.S. becomes more stringent, this is a golden opportunity for many of these countries to open the door to offshore experts and workers,” Monchau said. ‘An unprecedented opportunity’ Harry Stebbings, founder of VC fund and podcast 20VC, shares this sentiment. “The single biggest threat to European innovation is the loss of talent,” Stebbings said Saturday in a social media post. “Trump has handed Europe the greatest opportunity.” Stebbings called on the U.K. to give all H-1B visas a fast-track to the U.K. as part of a push to make the country a “talent magnet.” His comments come as the U.K. reportedly looks to explore ways to abolish some visa fees for top global talent, a move that would contrast sharply with the Trump administration. One option being considered by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is a proposal to drop visa charges for top-level professionals, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.. . . Barney Hussey-Yeo, CEO of British artificial intelligence startup Cleo, on Monday described Trump’s abrupt change to the H-1B visa program as “an unprecedented opportunity” that had triggered a high volume of interest from stateside workers. “Since the H-1B turmoil this weekend, I’ve had over 1,000 direct messages from highly skilled professionals considering leaving the U.S. — Computer Science graduates from the world’s top universities now working at elite tech companies. The calibre is exceptional,” Hussey-Yeo said in a statement. “The U.K. should do everything possible to become the default destination for this world-class talent,” he added.")
