  1. Initiating and sustaining entrepreneurship support policy I GROUP B Summarize all government programs. Explains context Recommendations need to be country-specific

  2. Initiating and sustaining entrepreneurship support policy II • Governments interested in economic impact, but … • Economic impact hard to quantify (time-lags, causal instead statistical relationship …) • How long before it has impact? • What are the main constraints to entrepreneurship? • Why don‘t policymakers listen? Be persistent and not be discourage dtoo early • Find out what the key government objectives are and aim at them?

  3. Initiating and sustaining entrepreneurship support policy III • Find a champion in government who can sell your ideas for you • Some governments have an objective to stay in power and don‘t want to listen • In some countries policy is not the way to go • Engage funders and governments early at a policy day (Canada) • Governments are risk averse (they very often do not really want to change anything) • In some countries civil society may be better than government policy (what do we mean by „policy“?)

  4. How to improve GEM data to help address policy • Policy makers: what are their hot issues? Address if possible .. • Freedom to GEM countries to use new questions to address policy makers issues (country-specific) • Policy is very country specific – as the data and the recommendations should be • TEA rate can be useful but interpret with caution (relationship between entrepreneurial activity and economic growth) • Is there a list of GEM recommendations to government? Should collect them (1 per country&year) and make them available (in English) to every GEM country • Entrepreneurship policy is mainly at the regional level, but hardly to address by (not that rich) GEM teams • GEM national data has its limits for policy (dedicated as national project and as a research project) • But many improvements within NES concerning quality and quantity and comparability of data
