In the future, start-up companies in Germany should be able to obtain venture capital more easily in order to advance their economic development. This is what the draft for a new start-up strategy from the house of Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) provides for. “The federal government will continue to strengthen the German venture capital market and create additional opportunities for large-volume financing by domestic investors,” says the paper, which was published on Friday. Several media had previously reported about it. The industry has complained for a long time that, after initial successful financing in the early phase, start-ups are often denied access to large-scale financial injections as they continue to grow. In the future, insurance companies and pension funds will also be allowed to invest their money as venture capital. The Ministry of Economic Affairs also wants to strengthen employee participation – i.e. opportunities for employees to benefit from the success of their own company.
