Monitoring Lower Saxony Entrepreneurship
Introduction
The research project “Niedersachsen Entrepreneurship Monitoring” is commissioned by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture. Its goal is to record the entrepreneurship transformation of the state of Lower Saxony. For this purpose, a research-based monitoring system will be developed. With the aid of this system, measures for the promotion of entrepreneurship will be made transparent and the effectiveness of the measures can be measured. In this way, precise recommendations for action will be derived, which will enable a more targeted use of existing resources and more efficient and effective measures for the promotion of entrepreneurship. The project is aimed at politicians, universities and the business community and startups in Lower Saxony.
Politics
Assessment of measures are taken and decisions to be made at the state level and for local authorities
Universities
Status quo of own start-up infrastructure and disclosure of improvement potentials
Economy and startups
Awareness of measures and infrastructures already in place at local level and their assessment
Initial situation, strategy for implementation and objectives
In order to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the German economy, startups are becoming increasingly important as drivers of innovation, especially in the face of socio-ecological challenges. The potential, which exists in particular in the technology and knowledge-intensive sector, and through outstanding universities and research institutions, has not yet been exhausted. Therefore, it is essential to create and improve startup-promoting framework conditions. However, the effectiveness of these improvement measures cannot always be clearly predicted due to a lack of data and the complexity and interrelationships of various determinants.
- Startups gain importance as innovation drivers
- Startup potential not yet fully utilized, especially by universities
- Creating and improving framework conditions conducive to startups essential
- Effectiveness of measures not always clearly predictable (lack of data, complexity, interrelationships)
Practical concepts for decision-makers in the state will be obtained from a systematically research-based monitoring of startup funding measures in the state. A monitoring system will be developed that provides continuous science-based feedback on the effectiveness of measures.
- Systematic science-based monitoring of startup support measures of the state
- Development of practice-relevant concepts for decision-makers in the country
- Development of a monitoring system
- Continuous scientifically based feedback on the effectiveness of policies
To design this monitoring system, the first objective is to analyze the current state of the country’s entrepreneurship transformation. Following this, an evaluation model is to be developed which makes measures and their effectiveness empirically assessable in order to use available resources in a more targeted manner in the future. In this way, recommendations for action can be made to accelerate the entrepreneurship transformation of the country more effectively.
- Analyse des Ist-Zustands der Entrepreneurship-Transformation des Landes
- Maßnahmen und deren Wirksamkeit mithilfe des Evaluierungsmodells empirisch bewertbar machen
- Zukünftig vorhandene Ressourcen gezielter einsetzen
- Recommendations for action to accelerate entrepreneurship transformation based on research findings.
