IESE-Center for Entrepreneurship (CEFIE) and Roland Berger are pleased to invite you next November 17, to an interactive session led by Prof. Julia Prats where distinguished experts such as Prof. Jan Oosterveld – IESE Business School, Benno van Dongen – Roland Berger, Rodrigo Miranda –Nuubo and Javier Hernández – INCIDE, will debate on the results of an extensive study on Entrepreneurship in Europe.

Having the challenge of making the European economy more innovative and entrepreneurial and wanting to contribute actively to this endeavor, IESE and Roland Berger have conducted an extensive study on successful entrepreneurship ecosystems and found out HOW to support the generation of innovative, high-growth, knowledge intensive businesses. Based on the study, we put forward a series of recommendations in which responsibility to foster entrepreneurship is given back to civil society (entrepreneurs and firms) and not to the government that should play an important but subsidiary role.

In total, almost 1000 (potential) entrepreneurs participated in our surveys and workshops and 98 people from a range of stakeholders have been interviewed about our recommendations. Although the large majority of participants are European, study participants come from a wide range of 57 countries from all continents.

Entrepreneurship is the motor of the economy, and boosting it is more important now than ever as it can get us out of the economic crisis: today’s start-ups are the future’s leaders which will provide jobs and boost GDP.

At the same time, Governments have invested heavily to repair the infrastructure of the economy – now it is time for entrepreneurs and corporations to use this infrastructure and re-launch promising businesses that will bring Europe out of the crisis and closer to the Lisbon objectives.
