This will be an interesting talk on innovating in a degrowth economy. Come along? Perhaps the future for entrepreneurship is in embracing concepts such as circular supply systems, that are restorative and regenerative. Then we will realise Raworth (2018) Doughnut. https://lnkd.in/eNUq8Q4J

Are Aussie mid-sized businesses being left in the dust? The hard truth is that they are, compared to their counterparts in the US, Canada, and Germany. While these nations are expanding, Australia’s medium business sector has been contracting. In fact, it's down by a staggering 21% over the past 14 years. Andrew Stevens, IISA Chair, shared his thoughts with the AFR: - “The reality is our small businesses in the main are not attempting to or don’t think they need to innovate. Moreover, they lack the capability and capacity.” -“We have a scale-up, not a start-up problem." - The hurdles? “Capability, capacity and confidence.” This paints a bleak picture. But it also offers a compass for change. If Aussie businesses want to compete globally, innovation must be priority.

🚀 Boosting Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: The Power of Indirect Support 🚀 If we truly want to accelerate the growth and development of our entrepreneurial ecosystems, it’s time to think beyond just direct support. That’s why, together with my colleagues Federico Micol and Elisa Ughetto, we explored the key levers governments can use to increase the participation of Private Entrepreneurial Support Organizations (private ESOs) in these ecosystems. Our analysis of European fintech ecosystems shows that private ESOs, which significantly contribute to ecosystem development, are more likely to thrive when policies: 💡 Promote private R&D spending ✂️ Reduce blanket subsidies across industries 🎓 Stimulate talent development through human capital These strategies were once at the heart of national policies but have become less common. In many countries, the focus has shifted to subsidizing non-competitive industries in the name of preserving national assets, with less emphasis on private R&D and cuts to university funding. It’s thus time to rethink national policies. The impact of entrepreneurial ecosystems is crucial, and we need to bridge the gap between public and private sectors, involving more private companies, both large and small. 🙏 A big thank you to the Editor and Reviewers of Journal of Technology Transfer for their guidance through the publication process. 🔗 Interested in the full analysis?

If anyone is interested in UK innovation and industrial policy for economic growth, take a look at the report I authored with David Connell from the Judge Business School launched this week. We review the current policy ecosystem for UK growth companies and offer a new strategy to support their development and encourage them to remain in the UK rather than selling out to overseas acquirors or listing outside the UK. #economicgrowth https://lnkd.in/eRrTaNMn

Our latest report “The scale-up gap: financial market constraints holding back innovative firms in the European Union”, sheds light on European scale-up companies and the future of Europe’s innovation. European scale-ups are highly productive companies, with the potential to become the big champions of tomorrow. But as scale-ups prepare to expand beyond their local markets and establish themselves internationally, they encounter obstacles. This hinders Europe's ability to remain technologically competitive on a global scale, particularly in innovative areas like greentech, AI, and quantum computing. The EU is attractive for foreign venture capital, but European companies raise only half as much capital as their Silicon Valley peers. They often rely on foreign investors and face a higher likelihood of being acquired by non-EU companies. This trend threatens the next generation of European start-ups and drains entrepreneurial talent. To address these challenges, our new report recommends deepening Europe's Capital Markets Union and ensuring that public interventions catalyse private investment. Our President Nadia Calviño highlighted the need for a unified capital markets union and coordinated public policies to create a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
