Abstract

In March 2000 the Lisbon Agenda was formulated with the aim of making the EU the world's most competitive economy by the year 2010. Entre-preneurship was granted a prominent role in realising this strategy: “If Europe is to become the world's most competitive economic area, it is also important to … create a more favourable climate for entrepreneurship.”1 More recently, the European Commission has launched an ambitious strategy to support entrepreneurship by “changing the way society looks at entrepreneurs”, encouraging “more people to become entrepreneurs”, “enabling SMEs and entrepreneurs to remain competitive”, “improving the flow of finance to SMEs and entrepreneurs” and “creating a more SME-friendly regulatory and administrative frame-work”(Commission of The European Communities 2003).
