    Closing the scale-up financing gap is essential for the European Union to maintain its edge in technology. Scale-ups are young, medium-sized firms with high growth potential, more productive than the average company and leader in the development of new technologies. This report provides new evidence on the financial constraints faced by companies as they enter the crucial scale-up phase. The analysis follows firms that received venture capital backing and reached the scale-up phase in the European Union after 2013. By tracking these firms over time, the report examines the financing they receive and the investors they attract. The report also documents the link between financial constraints and firms' outcomes, including relocations and likelihood to exit via initial public offering or acquisition. Addressing the scale-up gap requires the removal of investment barriers, including making advancements in deepening capital markets, particularly the venture capital market, and targeted public interventions to jump start the market.

  2. The impact of environmental regulation on clean innovation
    are there crowding out effects?

    We examine the extent to which environmental regulation affects innovation and which policy types provide the strongest incentives to innovate. Using a local projection framework, we estimate the regulatory impact on patenting activity over a five-year horizon. As a proxy for environmental policy exposure, we estimate firm-level greenhouse gas emissions using a machine learning algorithm. At the country-level, policy tightening is largely associated with no statistically significant change in environmental technology innovation. At the firm-level, however, environmental policy tightening leads to higher innovation activity in technologies mitigating climate change, while the effect on innovation in other technologies is muted. This suggests that environmental regulation does not lead to a crowding-out of non-clean innovations. The policy type matters, as increasing the stringency of technology support policies and non-market based policies leads to increases in clean technology patenting, while we do not find a statistically significant impact of market-based policies.

    The European Union stepped up its action in the area of health - a shared competence between the EU and its Member States - in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the EU lacks a joint health policy that recognises health as a public good. This study investigates three areas where there is high added-value potential from a joint EU health policy: research and development; the availability of prescription medicines; and preventive healthcare. EU action in these areas could generate benefits for the economy (in particular the EU's health industries), society (through improved health and quality of life for patients and less absenteeism for employers) and fundamental rights (the right to timely access to healthcare). The EU could also help to reduce the carbon and environmental footprint of the healthcare sector. An EU health policy that speaks with one voice is especially advantageous in light of the ageing population, digitalisation and rapid technological change.

    Quantum technologies offer a vision of a healthier, more sustainable and resilient Europe. They will one day enable disruptive innovations that could transform our societies, economies and almost all industries by solving problems that have eluded even our most powerful computers. From chemicals and life sciences to finance and renewable energy, quantum technologies can speed up the development of groundbreaking new products and improve the ways we do things now. But despite a world-leading academic foundation in quantum technologies, European quantum companies consistently lag behind global peers. The European Union is home to 25% of all quantum companies worldwide, but accounts for less than 5% of global funding. Companies struggle to scale commercial operations due to a lack of knowledgeable investors or commercial partners. This study aims to answer the key questions about the future of quantum technologies: What can we expect from groundbreaking innovations? Why should we already begin to boost investment into the nascent European quantum industry? How can we speed up the development of the industry in Europe? We recommend a mix of policy and financing measures to accelerate the journey from academic knowledge to large-scale commercial success.
