Ready, steady, grow? How the government can support high growth firms: a joint Cities 2020 and Knowledge Economy programme report

This report outlines what the government must do ensure the success of so-called high growth firms. With David Cameron stating that “the small, high growth firms are responsible for half of new job creation”, there is now a consensus that these firms are crucial to recovery. However, little has been said about what should be done to help them grow. Drawing on interviews with entrepreneurs from current and potential high growth firms, the report sets out to address this major policy gap.
