A chapter in Entrepreneurial Icebreakers, 2015, pp 1-5 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract One of the world’s largest and most innovative hospital bed producers emerged from the post-communist Czech Republic. In Slovenia, a small aircraft manufacturer was founded while private flying was still prohibited, but went on to win three NASA Challenges — a feat which no aviation company had done before. In Estonia, a small start-up made waves with its unique technology and industry-leading capabilities, attracting acquisition bids from global companies. These are stories of growth — of job creation and of economic development in Central and Eastern Europe.
