A Study on E-Platforms for Entrepreneurship Matchmaking: Lessons from the EU Experience

近年來，推廣創業家精神和創造就業機會，已成為各國推動經濟發展的重要策略。在人口結構日趨高齡化和國際競爭日益加劇的環境下，企業的順利傳承或接班、管理和創業能力的提升，重要性明顯增加。如何建立創業媒合電子平台，協助中小企業繼承、管理層收購與企業重建，減少企業移轉失敗，避免對經濟、就業及社會環境造成不利影響，已成為值得探討的重要課題。本文將探討歐盟國家建立創業媒合電子平台的實例，並針對媒合成功的關鍵性因素、政府扮演的角色、相關配套措施（法規、融資等），分析歐盟主要國家的作法，希望喚起各界對此一議題的重視，協助政府研訂更周延可行的具體策略，促成中小企業的再造（restructuring），活絡合併與收購（M&As）等創業活動。

In recent years, promoting entrepreneurship and job creation has become a key economic development strategy in countries worldwide. In an environment of accelerating population aging and intensifying international competition, how to establish electronic matchmaking platforms for entrepreneurship and provide assistance for small business succession, management buy-outs, and business turnaround has became a critical issue for research. This study spotlights successful examples of e-platforms for entrepreneurship matchmaking set up in EU countries, and examines the reasons for their success, the role of government, and related regulatory, funding, and other support measures. It is hoped that this analysis of the approach taken in leading countries of the EU will raise general awareness of the importance of this subject, and help the government formulate more complete workable strategies for promoting SME restructuring and pepping up M&A and other entrepreneurial activities.
