Their record over time
Bundesverband Nachhaltige Wirtschaft e.V. filed 2 positions between 22 Sept 2025 and 6 Nov 2025, across 2 of the 326 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 1 time.
What they argued
Future-proof innovation policy must not be reduced to a single business model. While VC-funded start-ups often focus on fast exit start-ups, it is clear that: More than 30 % of European start-ups have no exit model at all. In the sustainable economy in particular, this diversity creates resilient forms of enterprise that ensure long-term stability and innovation.
