OECD SME and Entrepreneurship Ministerial Meeting 2023

Breakout session 3: Tapping into all talents: inclusive SMEs and Entrepreneurship policies

Jun 27, 2023 | 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM

Parallel Session 3 Room CC13

Description

Entrepreneurship and business development continue to be hampered by inequality of opportunities. These entrepreneurship gaps are costing economies in missed opportunities for job creation, growth, and innovation. Underrepresented and disadvantaged groups in particular face institutional barriers, limited access to finance, lack of skills, and small networks. Inclusive entrepreneurship policies have been implemented to address these gaps, but more government action is needed to unleash the untapped entrepreneurial potential in the population, including tailored support for underrepresented groups.
