A vital part of the European Commission’s new Innovation Union strategy is to support new ways of helping small, innovative companies find the financing they need to get moving in the marketplace. This affects university spin-outs, high-tech start-ups and many other kinds of entrepreneurial organisations that, especially in these difficult economic times, have trouble raising capital to grow. This meeting will be an open discussion of these and other ideas now on the table in Brussels, to come to an understanding of where EU policy in this field may move next. A special ScienceBusiness report will summarise and move forward the ideas.
