Praising Coalition Success, FDP Eyes Venture Capital Boost in Saxony-Anhalt
Almost three years after the state elections in Saxony-Anhalt, the FDP parliamentary group lauded the black-red-yellow coalition's performance. The Liberal parliamentary group leader, Andreas Silbersack, brushed aside the notion of ideological differences, instead focusing on the coalition's accomplishments based on factual arguments and mutual trust.
Arriving at the state parliament following ten years of extra-parliamentary opposition, the FDP has since joined forces with the coalition. In November 2021, the black-red-yellow alliance officially commenced operations. The Liberals filled the void left by the Greens in the state government.
Silbersack offered praise for the improvements in expanding mobile communications, digitalizing schools and universities, and fostering new businesses in Saxony-Anhalt. These successes have opened up opportunities for attracting more private venture capital to the region, asserts Silbersack, who advises the state to offer prime conditions for start-ups.
In anticipation of dwindling financial resources, Silbersack advocated firmly for adhering to the debt brake. He insists that the proportion of public expenditure allocated for personnel costs (currently one-third of the state budget) should be reduced, and more emphasis be placed on digitalization and streamlining bureaucratic processes.
Drawing from insights, the collaboration in the black-red-yellow coalition in Saxony-Anhalt has indirectly contributed to attracting venture capital and enhancing economic conditions, particularly for start-ups, through several strategies:
- Hessenfonds: Modeled from Hessian initiatives, targeted support for businesses, including innovation and transformation funds, can help start-ups overcome challenges associated with technological advancements and skilled labor shortages.
- Digital Infrastructure: Enhancing rural companies' access to quick, reliable internet services can significantly boost operational efficiency, making it easier for start-ups to secure venture capital and grow.
- Regulatory and Tax Conditions: Streamlining access to promotional funds and improving regulatory and tax conditions can create a more favorable business environment, including easing the process for securing funding to support growth.
- Investment in Infrastructure and Education: Focusing on strengthening Germany's economy by investing in infrastructure and education can indirectly benefit start-ups, fostering a competitive and supportive ecosystem.
These initiatives are not exhaustively detailed within the given sources, but the broader context of Germany's economic support and infrastructure development in Hesse suggests potential benefits for attracting venture capital and improving economic conditions for start-ups in Saxony-Anhalt.
