What not to do

Submitted by Engberg on Sat, 2012-05-26 03:38

According to good old Schumpter "Innovation is Creative Destruction" and entrepreneurs are driven by the chance of large profit in case of successfull change.

But some countries hate the idea of successfull entrepreneurs and actively use taxation to prevent it.

Key Enabling technologies or failure to see what is going on ?

Submitted by Engberg on Mon, 2012-05-21 10:45

We are in the middle of what is probably the largest transformation process of society in history.

And Europe fail to see it and respond accordingly. Are we in the middle of yet another implosion or will we have a Renesance in time?

Stop feeding talent to the sharks

Submitted by Engberg on Sat, 2012-05-19 09:46

There is in "innovation" circles a focus on getting young people to start companies.

Fine - there is however one serious problem with this approach. Unexperienced people do not understand the complexities of markets and thus do not see real problems and oppourtunities, but just move in the "lemming tendency".

There is a huge difference in the start-ups of 1970 where e.g. computing and ICT where an immature klondykeand today where extremely powerful players are controlling markets.

Building the Next Facebook a Tough Task in Europe
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/18/technology/18iht-net18.html

Extract:
In the United States, promising Internet start-ups can expect venture capitalists to come calling at an early stage. Fat checks often follow quickly. In Europe, many entrepreneurs have to wait longer; to get their businesses up and running, they sometimes have to rely on unorthodox sources of funding, including France’s generous welfare benefits.

e-Commerce and Open Data

While more and more information about products and services becomes available on the web everyday the challenges of making an educated e-commerce decision at individual or small-business basis still remain the same:

Collaboration/Cooperation between S/T entrepreneurs/startups

Submitted by consen on Thu, 2012-05-17 12:29

Europe has to have the own companies for facilitating the collaboration and cooperation between S/T entrepreneurs and startups.
The EEIG has to improve 1) moderate the unanimity requirements and 2) include the IT technologies for facilitating the executive management.
The adopted 2002/2001 SCE/SE has to reduce the minimum social capital 30/120KE needed for facilitating their establishment.

Young People and Fostering Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the EU

Submitted by ggeorgiev on Wed, 2012-05-16 10:49

I believe we need to encourage more active participation by younger people in the entrepreneurship and innovation field in Europe.

Innovation breeds in a mix of high-performing internal workers and young newbies, so that some participants are familiar with the core business while others have an open mind and fresh ideas. Young people need the freedom to create and freedom to fail and learn. They need to be given the opportunity to reach their productivity potential.

1 Application for All Entrepreneurs for Finance!

Submitted by JacintaArcadia on Mon, 2012-12-10 20:58

I have noted in latest LinkedIn Digital Agenda discussions on repairing the damage done to recent Entrepreneurial Endeavours and the Entrepreneurs personally!

I have called for a Centralised Export Desk to manage the exceptional Talents Europe has to offer, not just from the Digital Realms but all Individual Inventors & Business People! I have recommended European Union Parliament and Ministers and participants here for Digital Agenda, recognise the USA EXIM Bank efforts and Business Model to Export all Businesses at the SME Level - it is a Model to replicate here in Europe!

Opendata and entrepreneurs

The global Open Data movement has recently emerged. Over the past four years around fifty countries have managed to publish nearly two hundred catalogs of public data at national, regional and local levels. In this new market that has emerged around the data reuse, many private companies are already involved (infomediary businesses and from other sectors: advertisers, media, or software developers among others).

Requiring Europe as a region

Submitted by AxelS on Fri, 2012-09-14 00:16

While we all work towards a true European "UNION", Europe is still seen as a conglomerate of countries.

How about a policy that requires software companies to have "European Union" as a region like the "United States". "European Union" should then include or point to the 27 EU Member Countries.

Today we several hundred countries to chose from in any software but Europe is never one of them. This is quite a disadvantage for marketers, sales organization, advertising selection....

Any thoughts?

Today, Da Vinci would fail to get Bank Finance for Patents!

Submitted by JacintaArcadia on Fri, 2012-06-22 12:33

The time we are in now, is clearly in my personal opinion, one of the richest eras in time, of creativity!

The internet has revealed the expanse & fertility of new ideas, sparkling flexibility to inclusive humanity and ever important respect of Nature!

But, if Da Vinci was alive today, he would have to fly to the USA, if he could get a VISA & he would need 1 million dollars to invest in a Citizenship, but he would be permitted to register a Patent for half the price as an Organisation or Company!
