The Ministry of Development is working on a system support package, which aims to increase innovation in the economy. The “Start in Poland” is to abolish capital gap and encourage private entrepreneurs to invest. Changes in the law have given the chance to innovative solutions in public procurement, and investing in innovation entrepreneurs – tax incentives.
– Change, which is necessary for Poland to become innovative, it mainly the reduction of the deficit of capital. To invest in innovation, and therefore very risky venture, you need a capital. This capital is not in Poland as much as in Western Europe or the United States, so you need a tool that will support entrepreneurs who have funds set aside in the accounts or invested in real estate – says in an interview with the agency Newseria Business Jadwiga Emilewicz, Undersecretary of State Ministry of Development.
Doing remedy has a program “start in Poland” dedicated industry-leading innovation, start-ups and venture capital. In this framework, projects are to be financed in half by the Polish Development Fund and private capital. Start-ups can count on maximum support of 250 thousand. zł, while the grant for the accelerator may reach 6 million zł. Important that support can count companies in various stages of development, not only in the initial stage.
– Another change is the area of regulation. If we want to create a system friendly to innovation, we have to change the law in several areas. One of them is the law of public procurement law. Now, when the force is still the lowest price, innovative, sometimes expensive at the start, but cheap exploitation technology can not penetrate – estimated Emilewicz.
Even after the revision of regulations from 2014, when introduced a provision that except in special cases price criterion can not be the only one which can be guided by the contracting authority when choosing the most advantageous offer, it has brought tangible results. An analysis of the announcements made by the Public Procurement Office indicates that the introduction of such a provision, the percentage of advertisements in which the only criterion indicated the lowest price (from 93 to 33 per cent. In the case of notices in the Public Procurement Bulletin and in the Official Journal of the European Union 85 to 45 percent.). Further restrictions on the use of the criterion of the lowest rates are to come into force in the autumn. The law awaits the signature of the president.
– The important thing is to change the law on supporting innovation, we enter the real tax incentives for those entrepreneurs who want to invest in new technology, a patented technology, whether in employment researcher – explains a representative of the ministry.
the Ministry also wants to support exports. Data “Polish Start-ups Report 2015″ shows that currently 2.4 thousand. operating in Poland start-ups, only half of it exports its products. Small businesses often can not get through, they lack the means to exist on the Polish market, especially for foreign companies.
– not less important thing is to concentrate resources, eg. On flagship projects. The first is the development plan for electromobility, which is way to get the electric bus. Buses today in Poland are produced, and therefore the base we already have. If spolonizujemy battery, and therefore the heart of the electric vehicle, we will have success – indicates Emilewicz.
Representatives of the Ministry stressed that the assumptions of the project (one million electric cars by 2025 and electrification of public transport) are crucial for the growth of innovation Polish economy. Work on the terms of the development of this sector could be for domestic firms an opportunity to overhaul global trends. According to estimates, in 25 years, every fourth car will be electric
The Ministry of Development is also working on Polish space program, which is to include a plan for development of this sector and at the same time facilitate the implementation of innovative solutions based on techniques of satellite economy and administration .
