A webinar by Nordic Innovation and the OECD.
Scale-ups - firms that grow rapidly over a short period of time – are a key source for job creation and economic growth in OECD economies. This webinar will provide insights into the location choices of scale-ups within their home countries and discuss what national, regional and local policy makers can do to support them.
The webinar, jointly organized by Nordic Innovation and the OECD draws on a recently published OECD study developed with five Nordic Statistical Institutes and interviews with Nordic scale-ups and features a brief presentation of the main findings and discussion with experts and practitioners from across the Nordic countries on what makes a good place for a scale-up.
