This October 2015 OECD report calls on governments to stop policies that unduly favour incumbents, given that young firms are crucial in driving innovation, job creation and growth. With the digital economy and the sharing economy changing the business landscape by allowing new ideas and business models to emerge, it is more urgent than ever to give young firms the means to experiment with new technologies and organisational models.
The report also calls attention to the role of skills, an open and
competitive business environment, access and participation in the
digital economy, and the need for countries to adapt policies to their
specific national and sector challenges.
