The investment landscape has become more challenging for investors and early-stage businesses, but both groups have a vital role to play in the UK economy and innovation ecosystem that shouldn’t be underestimated cautions Jens Tholstrup, Executive Chairman of Oxford Investment Opportunity Network (OION). In our latest blog, Jens discusses the current angel investment landscape, the importance of angel investment to the UK economy, the role of the EIS scheme and how more could be done to promote the scheme to higher rate UK taxpayers. He highlights current concerns on how EIS assets will be valued and what the government’s next budget may mean for both #entrepreneurs and #investors. Read this latest blog here: https://lnkd.in/ezUCgRnN As Executive Chairman of Oxford Innovation Finance’s angel investment community, OION, Jens understands the challenges facing early-stage innovative businesses. For over 30 years, Oxford Innovation Finance has been connecting investors with carefully selected businesses through OION, which is now one of the largest and most active angel investment networks in the UK. #angelinvestment #investment #investors #angelnetwork #OION #UKeconomy #businessangels #SMEs #startups #economicgrowth #EIS #eisfund #EISscheme #SEIS #innovation Oxford Innovation Space Oxford Innovation Advice David Crichton-Miller Richard Cooper Eileen Modral FRSA Steve Piercy Jo Stevens Jane Galsworthy
