“We greet with great satisfaction the approval by the Chamber of Deputies of the regulation that will push the pension funds to invest in venture capital, thus increasing funding for innovative start-ups. Thanks to Minister Adolfo Urso for putting into practice a proposal that Assintel, with Fondo Fon.Te, has been putting forward for some time, in the context of the startuphub2030 project,’ said Assintel president Paola Generali, in a note commenting on the approval by the Montecitorio Assembly of the rapporteurs’ amendment to the DDL Concorrenza on start-ups.
The change that has just been made by the Chamber of Deputies, and which we hope will remain unchanged in the passage of the DDL through the Senate, will bring great benefits to thousands of innovative start-ups in Italy, which are in dire need and urgency of liquidity,” Generali adds. “With the novelty introduced in the DDL Concorrenza, pension funds, in fact, will have to invest in venture capital funds at least 5% of their qualified investments of the previous year in order to maintain the tax exemptions currently provided for, a quota that will have to rise to 10% from 2026. This will mean extra resources for tech start-ups in a context such as the Italian one in which, as we highlighted with the recent Assintel Report, 41% of local companies complain of a lack of economic resources and funding’.
