Horizontal Aid

Horizontal Aid refers to government support provided to businesses across various sectors with the aim of promoting economic growth or addressing specific societal objectives, such as research and development, environmental protection, or job creation. Unlike targeted aid for specific companies or industries, Horizontal Aid is designed to benefit a wider range of businesses and foster competition. This type of aid is generally allowed under State Aid Law as it aligns with broader economic goals, provided it doesn't distort competition excessively within the market.
