The exact change

The Startup Voucher provides a monthly stipend of EUR 900 for up to 9 months to founders developing early-stage innovative business ideas, plus two EUR 1,500 interim prizes and a EUR 2,000 completion prize. The program is aimed at individuals aged 18 to 35 who have not yet formally incorporated their company.
Suggested change
Updated the Startup Voucher program terms from a stale EUR 691.70 over 12 months (2019-2022 figure) to the current EUR 900 over 9 months plus prizes (2025-2026 edition), and corrected a citation misattributing the SIFIDE II R&D tax incentive's creating law to "Law 162/2014" (actually a later consolidating decree) instead of the true originating law, Lei 55-A/2010.
Why this is better
The Startup Voucher figures were stale 2019-2022 vintage (EUR 691.70/12 months) rather than the current 2025-2026 edition of the program (EUR 900/9 months plus milestone prizes).
