State Aid Rules
As a Fund financed by the Government, Futurebuilders must ensure that its investments do not breach European Union rules governing state aid.
The State Aid Rules exist to ensure that state aid given to an organisation in one EU country does not distort competition affecting trade between member states.
Most applications to Futurebuilders are not affected by State Aid Rules, but we have to test every application against the rules during assessment, especially where an applicant proposes to produce a product or materials for sale in a competitive market.

More information about State Aid Rules and their potential impact will be published in the next FBE Investment plan.
