6. Lobbying
The current tax climate in Sweden does not provide for tax incentives for investing in early
stage companies. SVCA and NUTEK therefore continuously work for a more BA investment
friendly tax environment as well as for simplified regulations, with the aim of attracting more
private capital to entrepreneurial businesses.
7. Dissemination of the BAN concept
NUTEK in cooperation with FSF and University of Lund have started a long-term research of
the Swedish business angel market in order to map the actors in this market and to get a more
accurate picture of the business angel activity in Sweden.
SVCA will continuously work to increase the level of knowledge about the business angel
concept and its importance for growth and development of new businesses. The effort will
include among other things educational activities, creating national BA forums, lobbying as
well as PR activities.
