Impactful Policy Frameworks
Future Funds Act (Zukunftsfondsgesetz) 2021
The German government launched the 'Future Fund' (Zukunftsfonds) in 2021, a 10 billion EUR investment program aimed at strengthening the venture capital ecosystem and providing more capital for startups, particularly in deep tech and future technologies.
This policy directly increases the availability of funding for startups in Germany, potentially leading to more investment opportunities for Start-up Ostwürttemberg's supported ventures and attracting more founders to the region.
Act on the Further Development of Company Law (FGG) 2021
This act, effective from January 1, 2021, simplifies company law, including provisions for digitizing the formation of GmbHs (limited liability companies) and improving flexibility for shareholder meetings.
The FGG simplifies the administrative burden for new company formations, making it easier and quicker for founders supported by Start-up Ostwürttemberg to establish their businesses.
Digital Strategy Germany 2022
The German government's Digital Strategy, updated in 2022, emphasizes digitalization across all sectors, promoting digital innovation, infrastructure expansion, and digital skills development, including a specific focus on supporting digital startups.
This strategy creates a more favorable environment for digital and deep tech startups, aligning with Start-up Ostwürttemberg's focus areas and potentially driving more founders to develop digitally-driven solutions.
