00:00Let's talk about the growth of companies. What can be done? What measures would be necessary to promote the growth of companies in the G7 countries?
00:14The growth of entrepreneurship is a fundamental premise to allow the G7 countries to face the great transitions, the great transformations that are in progress.
00:23Unfortunately, today, bureaucratic and financial obstacles make it difficult to encourage this entrepreneurship.
00:31Let's consider that in the OECD countries, more than 34 million people would like to be entrepreneurs but cannot.
00:38And if we then focus in particular on the G7 countries, we have only 9% of women who are self-employed entrepreneurs and only 2% of this 9% have employees.
00:52While young people in new entrepreneurship, in start-ups, in new businesses, represent only 9% of entrepreneurs.
01:00So an obstacle to entrepreneurship, many people expect, is an obstacle towards women and towards young people in start-ups.
01:09So entrepreneurship, which cannot include the diversity, the contribution of all categories, is a limiting entrepreneurship.
01:19So it is necessary to have policies that fiscally encourage new businesses.
01:25It is necessary to have actions that reduce, let's say, the bureaucratic obstacles that in some way do not facilitate entrepreneurship.
01:34And finally, it is necessary to have training courses for new entrepreneurs, both in the ability to adopt new technologies and to have those minimum skills that are added to the technological complexities.
01:46Bureaucratic simplification, economic and tax incentives, training and support in the adoption of new technologies are the prerequisites for a new entrepreneurship.
01:56There is also a concept, that of diversity. How can this be connected to a development that is at the same time inclusive and sustainable?
02:03As they say, entrepreneurship that is rich in different components, that is heterogeneous,
02:11is the entrepreneurship that is needed today in a world characterized by great rapidity, by great transformations, by great innovations.
02:17Here is that diversity must therefore be inclusive of those categories that are less representative today.
02:24Not only for an essential ethical and social issue, but also because it has a totally economic meaning.
02:32Some studies show that those companies that are able to put in place heterogeneous diversified teams have a return on investment greater than 29% compared to companies that do not have diversified teams.
02:46And those companies that have heterogeneous leadership, which include the categories today underrepresented, manage to have an increase in profits greater than 9% compared to others.
02:57So there is a clear economic reason, as well as ethical and social, to have an inclusive diversity of all components, of all riches, even of ideas that are needed to face today's challenges.
