Continuing talking about SMEs, today we discover the Growth of SMEs in Taiwan:  Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) play a major role in the stable economic development of Taiwan. Almost half of Taiwanese small businesses expect to grow in 2023, with more than 1.59 million SMEs existing in 2021. This large number accounts for more than 98 percent of all enterprises.  Domestic SMEs generated more than half of the revenue in the domestic market. Additionally, the increase in imports and exports between Taiwan and other countries enhances the major role SMEs play in the post COVID-19 transition back into a normal economy and job market.  As Taiwan’s economic situation continues to strengthen, the government encourages future growth patterns by providing guidance to SMEs in areas such as finance and funding, technological R&D, business incubations, urban and rural development, and promotion of exports. The Taiwanese government also actively strives to actively achieve net-zero carbon emissions through the use of digital transformations. Some digital transformations include carbon emissions calculation tools, net-zero emissions consulting and diagnostic services, and other assistance that shines a positive light on Taiwanese SMEs’ environmental sustainability compared to its competitors. As the Taiwanese market continues to grow, many opportunities await, such as the opportunity to become a Mail Boxes Etc.

Global Innovation Index 2023 is released. As proud I am to see Sweden take #2 position I feel some concerns, some may agree some not and thats ok... 🇸🇪 Sweden is built on entrepreneurship to create a better country for all. 🇸🇪 We have invested in free education, welfare, peace, diplomacy and being blessed with great natural resources. 🇸🇪 We built our innovative leadership by being forefront in delivering speerheading products and services leading us to host the Nobel prize to being the #1 unicorn/per capita country. 🇸🇪 We were taught we are the best country in the world... all categories. What I see now is increasing competition, whereas Sweden in our mindset is forever leaders... I am not so sure anymore... I would like to see: ▶️ Humbleness - are we really the best? ▶️ Focus - where is our innovative and competitive edge in 20-50 years? ▶️ Investments - education, R&D, welfare? ▶️ Sense of urgency - the speed of competition and the market is evolving is massive. Are we aware how fast the playing field is changing? https://lnkd.in/dcnkw9Qd #innovation #research #politics #swepol #sweden

What is the current state of global innovation? Is innovation accelerating or slowing down? How is innovation coping in the face of higher interest rates and geopolitical conflicts? According to the WIPO report, Switzerland ranks first overall for the 14th consecutive year, excelling particularly in innovation output, including knowledge creation, impact, and diffusion. This makes me want to work in Switzerland or join a Swiss company. Here are some key takeaways from WIPO's Global Innovation Index 2024 (GII): Findings highlight progress as well as challenges across four key stages of the innovation cycle: science and innovation investment, technological progress, technology adoption, and the socioeconomic impact of innovation. 1. Innovation investments witnessed a major downturn in 2023, a reversal of the 2020–2022 boom 2. Technology continues to progress rapidly, technology adoption is growing, and the socioeconomic impact of innovation has mostly turned positive again. However, green technology and environmental indicators have either been progressing more slowly than before or have declined. 3. Switzerland, Sweden, the United States, Singapore, and the United Kingdom lead the GII 2024; China, Türkiye, India, Viet Nam, the Philippines, Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Morocco are the middle-income economies that have climbed the fastest in the GII ranking since 2013. 4. Singapore, the United States and China score best in particular innovation indicators. 5. The regional GII leaders in innovation are Switzerland, the United States, Brazil, India, Singapore, Israel, and Mauritius; India and Rwanda continue to lead their income groups. Türkiye and the Philippines are newcomers to the top 3 for their income group. 6. Several developing economies are performing above expectation on innovation relative to their level of economic development. 7. The world’s five biggest science and technology clusters are all located in East Asia; Tokyo–Yokohama is the biggest S&T cluster globally, Cambridge the most S&T-intensive. 8. This year’s special GII theme looks to the future of social entrepreneurship and asks: What will it take for social entrepreneurship to catalyze transformative innovation and societal impact?
