WASHINGTON, DC – The National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), TechNet, and the Center for American Entrepreneurship (CAE) are excited to see the introduction of several tax policy measures that will increase investment in frontier technologies and new tools to better prepare the country for future pandemics and other public health crises.
“By making long-term investment in innovation more attractive, this package of proposals will pay enormous dividends for our economy and improve America’s long-term competitiveness. We thank Representatives Brady, Buchanan, Kelly, and Wenstrup for their leadership and look forward to continuing to work with policymakers to pass these solutions into law.”
NVCA, TechNet, and CAE strongly support these new proposals that are written to support the unique business model of patient long-term investment into research and growth activities commonly found in the American startup ecosystem. Specifically, the American Innovation Act will improve our long-term competitiveness by making capital-intensive investment into critical technologies more attractive. Other bills build on the success of the research and development tax credit to provide liquidity and encourage investment in startups focused on solutions to pandemics and public health crises.
