A failure to sufficiently develop innovative startups into “superstar” firms is one of the reasons for the bloc’s poor productivity growth.
Europe’s fragmented economy and financial system partly underly this problem. Without a more frictionless single market for goods, services, labor, and capital, it’s more expensive and difficult for successful startups to scale up.
On top of that, Europe’s bank-based financial system is not well-suited to finance risky startups. High-tech startups often develop new technologies and business models, which are risky and may be hard for banks to assess. And the value of startups often lies in their people, ideas, and other intangible capital, which is difficult to pledge as collateral for a bank loan. Banks are also constrained by rules that (rightly) limit lending to risky firms without collateral—even fast-growing ones that are likely to make large profits later.
