Key findings
1. Net job creation does not come from small, but from young firms.
2. Growth of young innovative firms means “up” or “out”; entrepreneurs need flexibility to experiment with business models.
3. Growth dynamics of firms differs across countries; in some countries, firms hardly scale after entry.
4. Policy matters, and has impacts on the scope for experimentation, and for the allocation of resources to the more innovative firms.

Five policy recommendations for Europe
1. Allow for experimentation: Reduce barriers to the entry (e.g. red tape), growth (e.g. size-specific regulations), and exit/failure of firms (e.g. penalising bankruptcy legislation).
2. Finalise the internal market – so firms can scale more easily.
3. Level the playing field for new and innovative firms: Some policies favour incumbents and MNEs (e.g. R&D tax credits), that also have a greater voice in policy development.
4. Strengthen the innovation system for young and innovative firms, e.g. through enhanced access to (risk) capital, network development, mentoring of entrepreneurs, skills development, etc.
5. Celebrate entrepreneurship. 15
