Businesses: Number of Luxembourg entrepreneurs above the European average | #Entrepreneurship #STATEC #Europe

Businesses: Number of Luxembourg entrepreneurs above the European average | #Entrepreneurship #STATEC #Europe | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it
Luxembourg's entrepreneurs -- people running their own business for three months to 42 months -- made up 9.2% of the working population last year, Statec, the country's statistics office, said on Tuesday.

That compares with a European average of 8.6% and stable compared with previous years, Statec said in a statement. The study was carried out by the Economy Ministry and Chamber of Commerce as part of the international Global Entrepreneurship Monitoring (GEM) programme. 

"People running entrepreneurial enterprises in Luxembourg are primarily motivated by the desire for independence rather than economic necessity," Statec said. "The main aids to Luxembourg entrepreneurship are infrastructure -- physical and immaterial -- and the barriers are a shortage of office space and qualified employees."

Competitiveness index: Luxembourg, one of the best EU regions to attract business | #Europe

Competitiveness index: Luxembourg, one of the best EU regions to attract business | #Europe | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it
Luxembourg is one of the best European regions to attract business. That's according to the latest regional competitiveness index of the European Union that studied 263 regions in all.

In Luxembourg's case, where the country due to its size is classed as a “region”, a score of 91 out of 100 was achieved placing it in a respectable seventh position in the rankings.

But how is the index measured? The EU defines competitiveness as "the ability to provide an attractive and sustainable environment for attracting businesses and citizens".

Among the points taken into account in this index are health, infrastructure, higher education, labour efficiency, and innovation.
