The state of the Crowdfunding Industry

“Crowdfunding – this

alternative form of fundraising

that is collective, participatory

and interactive – is becoming

increasingly important.”

Michel Barnier

European regulation for crowdfunding

… easy as pie!

Crowdfunding Symposium 2014 ,Wien, 25 September 2014 | Reinhard Willfort | European Crowdfunding Network AISBL - www.europecrowdfunding.org

Womit beschäftigt sich die EC?

• EC Juncker: Crowdfunding wird weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen und ist

wichtiger Teil der KMU Finanzierung

• Crowdfunding Handbuch in Arbeit - Ziel: Wissenstransfer zu KMUs

• Kurzfristig keine europaweite Regulierung – Bringschuld der

Mitgliedstaaten (Fazit bisher: In Staaten wo man sich damit beschäftigt,

funktioniert Crowdfunding besser)

• Nächstes Treffen mit Regierungsverantwortlichen in Wien: Anfang 2015

• Fazit zu Österreich: Interesse der Regierung ist nicht mehr erkennbar...
