New OECD report helps countries identify bottlenecks in entrepreneurial ecosystems

OECD. Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Diagnostics.

The OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions, and Cities recently issued its National Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Diagnostics report, a new tool aimed to assist nations in boosting start-ups and scale-ups by identifying and resolving significant obstacles to entrepreneurship.

The paper was created through a collaborative effort of scholars and policymakers from the entrepreneurship and innovation landscape.

"This report provides governments with a clear diagnostic framework to identify weaknesses in their entrepreneurial ecosystems and design better-targeted reforms," , its author, stated.

Key findings from the report include:

  • Ecosystem diagnostics allow for wiser, more strategic policy initiatives.
  • The most effective techniques are holistic, which promote many entrepreneurial conditions.
  • While ecosystems change over time, tailored strategies can produce quick results.

The study is a joint accomplishment that reflects the OECD and its partners' pooled knowledge, with the goal of empowering nations to enhance their entrepreneurial foundations.
