𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗨𝗽 𝗗𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 Our founding member Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship launches its 10th Scaleup Dashboard, celebrating a decade of insights! 👏 This #annualresearch highlights the growth patterns of high-growth firms (HGFs) in the Netherlands and provides key insights into their post-pandemic recovery. 📈 The findings show stabilisation of #growth rate, with Dutch HGFs continuing to grow despite market challenges. This analysis also highlights the growing prominence of smaller firms and the trend of more mature companies maintaining sustainable #highgrowth. 🔍 The Hospitality and Culture, sports and recreation sectors show strong recovery, while Energy and Agriculture sectors experience setbacks in sustaining growth. Experts Richard Wagenmakers (Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University) and Ronald Huisman (Erasmus School of Economics) emphasize the need for a well-coordinated ecosystem and public-private partnerships for a successful energy transition. Another emerging focus is the role of #gender in entrepreneurial leadership within HGFs, with data showing decline in number of #womenentrepreneurs. A case study featuring Nicola Ebmeyer of Gain.pro, a woman-led fintech HGF, offers insights into barriers and solutions for addressing the gender gap.
