Co-financing of Start-ups from Public Funds – Post-implementation Evaluation of E-services Developed as Part of the Operational Programme ‘Innovative Economy’

Summary/Abstract: European funding as an important element of Polish economy has long been of interest to public administration, which is responsible for allocating available funds. It is also of great interest to entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses with the aid of public funds. However, many of them use those aid funds in a way that is characteristic of dependent entrepreneurship, i.e. their enterprises exist only as long as they are financed with aid funds. Start-ups providing e-services that were founded as part of the Operational Programme ‘Innovative Economy’ 2007-2013, are a good case in point here. The quantitative and qualitative analysis reveals that the vast majority of them either no longer exist or offer services that are of limited functionality.
