Grow and Go? Retaining scale-ups in the Nordic countries

Download

Scale-ups are firms with 10 or more employees and at least EUR 2 million in turnover that grow by more than 70% over three years in employment, turnover or both. They are central for job creation and economic growth.

This is a short summary of a OECD report that aims to investigate how scale-ups and their employees are affected by:

  • Relocations: the headquarter moves to a new region
  • Expansions: the firm opens an establishment in a new region
  • Foreign acquisitions: the ultimate country of ownership changes from domestic to foreign.
