No freedom to fail equals a failed nation

I The Economist artikel "Les Misérables" kritiserer The Economist Europas evne til at starte nye store og succesfulde virksomheder i forhold til USA. Dette førte blandt andet til en debat mellem Ole Brik Olesen og Kristian Madsen på DR, om hvordan Danmark skal skabe flere store og succesfulde virksomheder.

Gate to Create følger op på dette og kommer i artiklen 'No freedom to fail equals a failed nation' et bud på, hvordan der skabes en stærkere iværksætterkultur i Danmark ved at starte med at accepter at læring sker gennem fejltagelser. Se et uddrag af artiklen her:

"Denmark needs a culture where failing is looked at, not as a sign of weakness but as a sign of experience and learning. (...) Failing is gaining experience – that’s how you learn. (...) Networks and inspiration is needed locally, where hopeful entrepreneurs can bounce their ideas of other people and meet co-founders and partners for their ventures. Across the country, all of the 8 universities in Denmark, Gate to Create has a member organization that is dedicated to that task alone. To create a forum for sparring and helping new hopeful entrepreneurs take their first steps into the world of entrepreneurship, with the risks, rewards and not the least failures and thus the experience that goes with it."
