Iceland: Conquering the Economic Crisis
with Entrepreneurship
iceland-stamp Amidst all the bad news in Iceland related to the economic crisis and the disruption caused earlier this year by the Eyjafjallajokull volcano, the country has seen some entrepreneurial silver linings. The stream of positive signs I noticed began in March this year when Iceland replaced the United States as the INSEAD world champion in innovation. And more recently, entrepreneurship was incorporated into public discourse as a main driver of economic regeneration when Iceland's President led a summit in his country on innovation, entrepreneurship, and green energy. With Iceland getting so much attention for being on the brink of bankruptcy, I thought such good news about signs of an entrepreneur-led economic resurgence deserves note.
