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.
