Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Around the Globe and Early - Stage Company Growth Dynamics - the Entrepreneur's Perspective
Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Around the Globe and Early - Stage Company Growth Dynamics - the Entrepreneur's Perspective
World Economic Forum Report.
2014
Entrepreneurs are key drivers of economic and social progress. Rapidly growing entrepreneurial enterprises are often viewed as important sources of innovation, productivity growth and employment (small and medium-sized enterprises account for 97% of all jobs in emerging economies). Many governments are therefore trying to actively promote entrepreneurship through various forms of support.
The World Economic Forum, in collaboration with Stanford University, Ernst & Young and Endeavor, surveyed over 1,000 entrepreneurs from around the globe with the goal of better understanding how successful entrepreneurial companies accelerate access to new markets and become scalable, high-growth businesses.
