Whereas the public budget for R&D is re-examined in the Autumn, the current objective is to encourage companies to increase their expenditure on R&D and to support mixed or parallel forms of financing. Among the measures planned for innovating companies, besides patents and IP, there could be improved tax credits, statutory measures for innovating companies and a facility for the creation of foundations.
