Joint ACCA-Barclays-ecoDa-UEAPME event. Scale-Ups: converting vision into strategy and governance
Section
Euro & Finance
Event Location
Brussels
Event Description
All businesses start with ideas and visions. However, as they grow in size and complexity, the need to convert the vision into strategy and the governance mechanism to deliver becomes crucial.
Success in scaling up businesses delivers many benefits for the wider economy, ranging from creating wealth; boosting innovation; increasing research and development; providing skilled jobs; generating export earnings; to contributing to GDP.
Management and finance are two crucial interconnected factors for companies seeking to scale up. But it is also vital to be specific about what scaling up success looks like for entrepreneurs and their business and set realistic strategic objectives, timeframes and an efficient governance.
This event will discuss how policy-makers, investors and corporates can support high-growth companies in Europe. A particular focus will be given on measures to address Europe’s equity financing gap as well as need to remove regulatory and legal barriers from start up to scale up.
