Kivonat:Mario Draghi's report, "The Future of European Competitiveness," highlights the ICT sector among the priority sectors. According to the report, a key problem for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector is the outflow of startups and scale-ups to the US, due to a lack of investments and venture capital. This study outlines key parameters and trends within the ICT sector for both the EU and the US. It also assesses the existing gap in investment in innovation for ICT companies at different growth stages and analyzes the current situation regarding access to venture financing for the EU and the US companies. Furthermore, it provides an overview of current approaches to defining and monitoring the development of ecosystems as a necessary environment for startup growth in the ICT sector. The main focus of the study is the analysis of the second most important factor directly influencing the availability of financial resources for startup growth and development. In line with this focus, the master thesis compares fiscal burden, analyses tax incentives in the EU and the US, aiming to increase free cash flow, internal investment sources, and the attractiveness of startups and scale-ups for investors by reducing payback periods and risks.
