About FIRES
To get Europe back on the road to inclusive, sustainable growth we need to (re)kindle Europe’s entrepreneurial spirit. This transition requires Financial and Institutional Reforms for an Entrepreneurial Society (FIRES). In this project we bring together scholars from such diverse fields as history, economics, geography and law to formulate such a reform strategy. Moreover, the project involves relevant stakeholders in Europe’s future.
This Horizon2020 project develops a seven step process to formulate a tailored reform strategy. It builds on European regions’ rich and diverse history, assesses the bottlenecks in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, surveys relevant stakeholders in that ecosystem and then proposes fitting interventions from a menu of research based policy proposals to improve the situation. Individually, but especially together, these proposals in the realms of finance, labor and knowledge enable the more small scale, experimental and innovative bottom up activity that is needed to restore inclusive, innovative and sustainable growth to the European Union as a whole, its member states and regions. To ensure practical relevance and applicability the project engaged relevant stakeholders throughout the project. At our concluding event on May 25th in Brussels we present our proposed method and engage with our stakeholders one last time. So join us in shaping Europe’s entrepreneurial revolution!
