STRATEGY BRIEF
2024
Germany is experiencing a decline in productivity. Innovation is an important driver to counteract this negative trend. Young companies with disruption potential in particular are driving innovation forward. However, they are confronted with financing bottlenecks due to information asymmetries and a lack of collateral. Venture capital financing is a valuable instrument for closing this gap and at the same time drives the protection of innovation in the form of patents. There is an urgent need for political action to facilitate access to the German venture capital market. In addition, the harmonization of patent law to protect intellectual property should be further advanced.
