Transformation: Greens want 1.5 billion euro fund for medium-sized businesses
The Greens parliamentary group is proposing a state fund to finance the climate-friendly transformation of medium-sized businesses. So far, these often fall through the cracks - now equity investments are supposed to provide a solution.
The German Green Party has proposed a 1.5 billion euro fund to support medium-sized and small businesses in their transition to climate neutrality. The fund would directly invest in companies, allowing the state to secure bank loans and provide long-term support. The party's economic policy spokesperson, Sandra Stein, and budget expert, Katrin Uhlig, argue that existing state aid programs often favor larger corporations, leaving medium-sized businesses with limited access to necessary investments.
The fund would focus on supporting investments in areas such as energy efficiency, electrification, and digitalization.
