This comprehensive book delves into the progress of G20 members in advancing entrepreneurship services since the issuance of the G20 Entrepreneurship Action Plan at the G20 Hangzhou Summit in China. The authors meticulously analyze the similarities and disparities in policy measures adopted by G20 members across five critical aspects of entrepreneurship services: government services, fiscal and financial support, entrepreneurship support, entrepreneurship education, and fair competition for SMEs. The primary objective of this book is to forge a strong connection between academic research and the multifaceted and diverse realm of entrepreneurial activities. It seeks to explore how national policies and conditions can foster entrepreneurship among G20 members, ultimately inspiring policy-makers, stakeholders in entrepreneurship ecosystems, and scholars in entrepreneurship research to promote entrepreneurship as an effective means to stimulate job growth, foster innovation, and drive economic recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The book begins by providing an overview of the G20, highlighting its significance as a global economic forum and its commitment to promoting entrepreneurship. It then delves into the evolution of entrepreneurship services within the G20 framework, examining the challenges and opportunities faced by members in this domain.

In the subsequent chapters, the authors present a detailed analysis of the policy measures taken by G20 members in each of the five entrepreneurship service areas. They examine the various government services, such as regulatory frameworks, tax incentives, and infrastructure development, that support entrepreneurship. They also explore the fiscal and financial supports provided by governments, including grants, loans, and venture capital, to entrepreneurs and SMEs.

The book further examines entrepreneurship support services, including business incubators, accelerators, and mentorship programs, that assist entrepreneurs in starting and growing their businesses. It also explores entrepreneurship education, including vocational training, degree programs, and online platforms, that equip individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary for successful entrepreneurship.

Lastly, the book examines fair competition for SMEs, recognizing the importance of a level playing field for small and medium-sized enterprises in driving economic growth and innovation. It explores the measures taken by G20 members to promote fair competition, such as anti-trust regulations, intellectual property protection, and access to finance.

Throughout the book, the authors employ a rigorous analytical approach, drawing on a wealth of empirical evidence and case studies to support their arguments. They also engage with policymakers, stakeholders, and scholars in entrepreneurship research to provide insights and recommendations for promoting entrepreneurship within the G20 and beyond.

In conclusion, this book is a valuable resource for policymakers, stakeholders, and scholars interested in entrepreneurship and its role in driving economic growth and development.
