The Future Is In Entrepreneurship
To kick off this week I want to take things to the macro level regarding entrepreneurship, politics and media. It is a topic we seldom talk about as we promote entrepreneurship here at ArcticStartup from the bottom of our hearts each and every day. I want to stress the importance of growth companies in our economies, as it is something that isn't given too much column space in the more traditional media. This is also one of the reasons ArcticStartup was founded - to give more coverage to growth companies and help them achieve more.
The topic in itself is very simple so we don't need to back it up with passion, all we need to do is look at the statistics. I've gathered some statistics from the Swedish statistics bureau (SCB) and the Confederation of Finnish Industries (CFI). While these only represent the systems in Finland and Sweden, I'm sure this can be extrapolated to other regions in Northern Europe with some adjustments. In this economic era, I'm focussing on the employment contribution these companies make to our economies since it is usually thought to be the most effective form of social welfare available.
