Antwerp Management School looks for ways to grow Belgian companies
Every year, Belgium sees a large number of new companies emerge. However, experts note that only a small fraction of these young enterprises grow into large employers. This is an important point of concern for the Belgian economy, as growing companies provide more jobs and innovation.
The Antwerp Management School (AMS) has therefore launched a new study. The researchers want to understand why many young companies in our country struggle to take the next step. In doing so, they are looking at factors such as access to capital, finding suitable personnel, and the influence of current legislation on entrepreneurship.
The goal of the research is to formulate concrete recommendations for both entrepreneurs and policymakers. By identifying where the bottlenecks lie, the school hopes that companies will be able to scale up more easily in the future. This would make the Belgian market stronger and more competitive in an international context.
The results of this study are expected later this year. For many start-up entrepreneurs in Belgium, this research is a hopeful initiative, as they often encounter the same barriers. After all, the success of these companies is crucial for the future prosperity of the country.
