#EIFAsks: What does it take to scale-up in Europe?

The lagging European economy cannot be revived solely on the basis of a thriving ecosystem for startups. The EU needs to offer an environment nursing scale-ups and just replicating Silicon Valley is not an option.
In order to have a wider discussion around this issue, EIF & Lambert van Nistelrooij MEP invited a panel of entrepreneurs to talk about what it is like to scale up in Europe.
Before the debate kicked-off EIF asked them what steps can be taken to improve the policy climate for the scalability of European start-ups?
