How we look at entrepreneurship
A dynamic ecosystem of SMEs and startups is important in any healthy economy. The Romanian ecosystem is currently:
With unequally distributed financing
Many entrepreneurs find it difficult to access finance and capital, the moment they need it the most, in the beginning of the start-ups.
A few steps behind
There are differences between the growth rate of regional startups in Europe and the United States: if the European ecosystem were to grow at the same rate as in the United States, an estimated 1 million new jobs would be created, besides a 2000 billion euros growth in the GDP over the next 20 years, that translates to a lot of jobs and income for Romania as well.
Non-transparent
According to the statistics, Romania is below the global average in terms of ease of managing taxes, regulations and available technology, so there are still important steps to be taken to improve public policies and procedures for the business environment.
With great potential
High-schools and universities do not cultivate entrepreneurship as a career option among students and pupils, and young people are late in doing business. They normally wait until the age of 35 to take this step. However, one in two urban Romanians would like to become entrepreneur, but few take this step.
