Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
Nederland pleit bij de Europese Commissie voor versoepeling van EU-regels die publieke investeringen in start-ups en scale-ups belemmeren. Strenge regels classificeren start-ups met weinig eigen kapitaal als bijna failliete bedrijven, waardoor overheidssubsidies of aandeleninvesteringen niet zijn toegestaan. Dit belemmert de groei van techkampioenen en het verkrijgen van private financiering.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledTerwijl Brussel de mond vol heeft over investeren in 'techkampioenen van de toekomst', zorgen EU-regels ervoor dat een steuntje in de rug van de overheid voor start-ups en scale-ups wordt belemmerd.
Steun, via bijvoorbeeld subsidies of aandelen, is nu vaak niet mogelijk omdat start-ups op vaak weinig eigen kapitaal hebben en daardoor op papier lijken op bijna failliete bedrijven.
En die categorie mag van de Europese Commissie niet met subsidie kunstmatig in leven worden gehouden.
