The new Minister of Economy, Daniel Zamfir, announced plans to simplify the Startup Nation program to make it more accessible for young entrepreneurs seeking non-repayable funding. He highlighted the low execution of funds in previous years and emphasized the need for urgent payments and addressing issues with the program's platform. Zamfir also mentioned the low enrollment in entrepreneurship courses, which are a prerequisite for funding applications. He aims to increase spending on programs supporting SMEs and acknowledged potential budget cuts due to unspent funds from the previous administration.
