Euroopan unionin valtiontukisäännöt taipuvat entistä enemmän kestävän kehityksen tueksi. Miten nämä vaikuttavat yrityksiin?   Tähän ja muihin kysymyksiin vastattiin eilen pidetyssä webinaarissamme, joka tarjosi ajankohtaiskatsauksen valtiontukiin. Webinaarissa käytiin läpi erityisesti vihreään siirtymään liittyviä valtiontukisääntöjä.   Valtiovarainministeriön elinkeinoverotusyksikön päällikkö, hallitusneuvos Jari Salokoski kertoi webinaarissa puhtaan teknologian investointihyvitystä verotuksessa koskevan lain taustoista. Asiantuntijamme Simo Autio, Eveliina Tanskanen, Essi Miettinen ja Oskar Kaskela nostivat esiin keskeisiä poimintoja vihreän siirtymän tuista ja muista teemoista. 💬 "Puhtaan teknologian tukiin liittyy paljon potentiaalia, josta Suomessa voitaisiin olla paremmin tietoisia. Valtiontukioikeuden tuntemisesta on hyötyä sekä yksityisellä että julkisella sektorilla", kiteyttävät asiantuntijamme.   #krogerusfinland #krogerusevents
