Europe faces significant challenges in the coming decades: geopolitical, demographic, technological, increased competition, climate-related, and health issues due to an aging population, to mention a few. Given these challenges, technological progress and new ways of handling complex issues will be key to continued prosperity and growth. To accomplish a growth process driven by innovation and entrepreneurship, the institutional environment must take into account a multitude of different policy areas that interact to either strengthen or weaken an economy's innovative potential. Innovation is not only about R&D and higher education but is also intimately related to entrepreneurship. Similarly, entrepreneurship is not only about low start-up costs and favorable tax rates. Hence, a consistent and coordinated policy environment conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship is required to translate innovation into high-growth firms and macro-level growth. This book presents the basic cornerstones required to provide a policy regime that can nurture such dynamics. The authors draw extensively on empirical analysis of the development of the Swedish economy, which has been transformed from a so-called "sclerosis" state in the 1980s until the early 1990s to an economy characterized by successful entrepreneurship and innovation. This transformation resulted from a reform agenda that has been gradually rolled out, beginning in the mid-1980s. The authors argue that the Swedish experience provides useful lessons for other nations as well. 2023-12-13T10:36:26Z 2023-12-13T10:36:26Z 2024 book ONIX_20231213_9783031427565_22 9783031427565 9783031427558 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/86125 eng International Studies in Entrepreneurship application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-42756-5.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-42756-5 Springer Nature Springer International Publishing 10.1007/978-3-031-42756-5 10.1007/978-3-031-42756-5 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 9783031427565 9783031427558 Springer International Publishing 55 184 Cham open access
