Entrepreneurship-manifested in the entry of new firms or products into new markets, or substantial improvements in technological capacity or process innovation by incumbent firms-is widely considered to be an important ingredient for long term economic development. Entrepreneurship in Latin America and the Caribbean argues that entrepreneurship is also a source of employment generation, export growth, and resilience during economic downturns.
