💫 We are excited to share the Draghi Report with our community! The report outlines concrete steps for accelerating growth and closing the innovation gap in the EU. Key Recommendation: Building a better financing environment for disruptive innovation, start-ups, and scale-ups by removing barriers to growth in European markets. 📊 For achieving this goal, the report emphasizes the need for a deeper pool of angel investors to support very early-stage innovation. Ensuring that local capital is available to scale-ups will help Europe retain the benefits of innovation and fuel long-term growth. The report also calls for expanding incentives for business angels, revisiting capital requirements, and increasing the European Investment Fund's budget to improve access to funding. 💼 These initiatives are designed to help Europe compete globally, support high-growth companies, and create a more robust ecosystem for innovation and investment.
