THE GOVERNMENT’S POLICY
• Political level (federal and regional) is in a strong favour of knowledge
based economy
• Financial and economical policy claimed to be liberal – no any type of
activity, including innovation, should have any preferences
• There are no financial incentives for large corporations to become
competitive as a result of their innovation policy
• No special tax regime exists to stimulate export of innovative products
• No tax relief for either gain on venture investments or business-angels
investments
THE GOVERNMENT’S POLICY - SWOT analysis
• Strengths:
- Almost all known instruments for early stage/expansion financing are now in use
- Some surveys show that about 2.5 mln. persons are acting as business angels
(with small money)
- Commercial banks are quite aggressive to attract SME as clients
• Weaknesses:
- The scale of use of all instruments is still too small to influence national economy
- Universities are still considered mostly as places for education not for science and
innovation
- Credit interest rates are still too high for innovative business
- Intangible assets are not used as a mortgage
