Entrepreneurship has many times been lauded as one of the most important economic drivers and therefore, is typically at the forefront of the public policy dialogue. Based on the literature and your own insights/thoughts:

1) to what extent does new venture creation contribute to the economy,

2) what policies could possibly stimulate new venture financing,

3) what policies could possibly help foment innovation transference between research institutions and private equity, and

4) should entrepreneurship form a stronger part of education at the school or university levels?
