Since the startup strategy was adopted in summer 2022, the German government has already implemented more than 40 percent of the measures. This is shown in the first progress report on the implementation of the startup strategy, which was published last week. The improved framework conditions should enable young and innovative companies to grow even faster and thus make a decisive contribution to the development and competitiveness of the entire German and European economy.
Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Dr. Robert Habeck explains: “I am proud that we have made such good progress in implementing the start-up strategy. New financing instruments and funding programs have been launched, important laws have been passed or are on their way. All of this shows: We want to and will make Germany an even more attractive start-up location that is also at the top of the international league. We will continue to work on this in the federal government and together with the community.”
The BMWK Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Startups, Dr. Anna Christmann, is also satisfied: “We have achieved a lot in just one year. The Future Financing Act will be a real game changer. We want to use it to finally solve the dry-income problem in Germany. I have advocated that this should also apply to larger start-ups. In future, it will be much more attractive to involve employees in start-ups and thus also in their success.”
In the first progress report, the Federal Government reports in detail on the status of implementation of the startup strategy. The report was presented and discussed at an event with the startup community at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. Federal Minister Dr. Robert Habeck also took part in the event. The BMWK provides information on the progress made and makes the report available for download at www.startupstrategie.bmwk.de.
