As the insurgents stormed the Capital, there could no longer be any remaining doubt – democracy was in danger. The warning signs had been gathering for years. Not just in the United States, but throughout Europe as well. In the contemporary world, democracy is under threat. Entrepreneurship, too, is seemingly on the decline, not just in a single national context, but throughout many of the developed economies. The mandate for entrepreneurship policy has been predicated by the primacy of employment, innovation, economic growth, productivity, social impact, and social inclusion. Perhaps the contribution that entrepreneurship makes to underscore democracy is the most important case for policy intervention of all. This European Encounters panel discussion will reflect on why the links between entrepreneurship and democracy are especially important and fruitful, not just in helping keep the field of entrepreneurship vital and relevant but mostly in helping Europe address one of the most pressing and compelling challenges of our time.
