Rethinking Entrepreneurship Support in Lagging Regions

Entrepreneurship support is criticized for high costs & limited impact. But what if we’re measuring it too narrowly? Our study highlights the 'outward causation' of entrepreneurial ecosystems—benefits that extend beyond new start-ups 1/3

I had the pleasure of talking about bicycle manufacturing in Germany in this podcast (in German): mehrblogs.uni-jena.de/spaceconomic... There are more bicycles than cars in Germany - but the attention is on the automotive sector.

A ❤️ for the small industries! #fahrrad #bicycle

In the first 2 issues of this year, the Cambridge Journal of regions, Economy and Society examined "Left Behind Places"; in issue 1 we ask "What they are and why do they matter? (academic.oup.com/cjres/issue/...) and in issue 2 we ask "What can be done?" (academic.oup.com/cjres/issue/...)

Injecting climate finance into SME lending?
Regional banks can contribute to the green transformation of SMEs in Germany but also have the means and market power to slow such transformation. Happy to share our paper online:
