Abstract
Recognizing that foreign start-ups can contribute to technological innovation, enhance foreign investments and create new forms of quality employment in India and the EU, this paper discusses how India and the EU can support the entry and scaling up of foreign start-ups. The paper is based on two primary surveys, one of EU start-ups in India, and one of Indian start-ups in EU Member States. Examining their experiences and their contribution to the respective economies, the paper identifies the mobility-related and other difficulties they face in establishing or expanding their businesses. The paper then makes policy recommendations, which aim to support India and EU Member States to attract foreign start-ups, bring in technology and investment, and help create jobs.
