Bachelor of Science HES in International Business Management: Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2024

English The vast domain of entrepreneurship plays a key role in maintaining the economy’s stability and evolution. During times of crisis, this appears to be particularly true. It is due to the
fundamentals of it, aiming to bring new solutions to needs, constantly evolving, of society. The
objective of this exploratory research paper aims to undertake a relevant exploration, allowing to define the importance and the role of Geneva’s organizations, and how they can contribute positively to the Swiss entrepreneurial index. This topic has been little explored, hence this work’s implications are to contribute humbly to its development. Knowledge is key and the more people are informed the more.
The methodology on which this document is based has been carried out in three stages. In the
first instance, a thorough exploration and analysis of all studies existing have been conducted,
to construct a solid theoretical base with a better understanding of the subject. This has helped to lead afterward, semi-structured interviews with professionals working within the different organizations in Geneva. Discussions brought up opinions and past experiences that have been helpful in drawing the big picture of challenges that most of them are encountering. Then, interviews have been thoroughly analyzed and organized into categories according to the coding methodology. The final step consisted of defining key topics worthy to address with personal recommendations.
Among the recommendations, the creation of a new department devoted to the development of innovation and entrepreneurship would represent a major change. Besides, many little actions are recommended to increase the organizations’ visibility and improve the integration of entrepreneurs. The second general recommendation is to recognize social entrepreneurship as a significant opportunity for the future of Geneva’s economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem.
This topic involves many challenges that could be partially overcome with political support and
better education.
On a general note, this paper aims to catch the attention of people on a subject not well known.
It is important to go over the stereotypes of entrepreneurship and highlight the positive contributions to the economy. If this work can raise awareness on this subject this would be the first step towards change. I hope this research will motivate people to investigate further and that it will engage discussions. If some of the recommendations can be applied to reality it will be a first step toward a better entrepreneurial ecosystem, which has a lot of potential to exploit.
