International News II: Appeal to EU Members of Parliament for Better Funding Options

BIO Deutschland made use of the opportunity provided by the discussion organised by the Small and Medium Entrepreneurs Union of the European People’s Party (SME Union) and the European Confederation of Pharmaceutical Entrepreneurs (EUCOPE) with members of the EU Parliament to point out the funding situation faced by innovative biotech SMEs.

Speaking on the panel at the event, Viola Bronsema, Managing Director of BIO Deutschland, spoke out in favour of improving the parameters for venture capital acquisition and of making access to the financial resources of the EU Commission Seventh Framework Programme easier for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in particular.
