Is the state intervention positive or illegal?

State aid can be a spur for new businesses and innovation. However it can also distort competition on the market. Whether government funding leads to distortive state aid or market efficiencies largely depend on the structure of the market, i.e. if there are any market failures that the government needs to address, and on how the aid is given. Public funding on market conditions are normally not regarded as state aid. We can assist in balancing the positive and distortive effects against each other and assess the legality of public funding.
