Grant Thornton UK LLP and Trampoline Systems have been commissioned by the European Commission to map

web entrepreneurs and start-ups across the European Union.

This map – the first of its kind to be developed on this scale – has the potential to provide unrivalled insight into thescale and nature of this sector; to uncover pan-European ecosystems; and to influence and shape how both the

private and public sector engage and work with dynamic, fast growing organisations like yours.

To achieve these ambitious outcomes we need to work with you and others like you to draw on your expertise to

shape and design the map in a way that adds most value to businesses.

This short survey (10 minutes) is the first stage of the process and we would very much like you to take part. All your

responses will be treated in the strictest confidence.

If you have any questions or want to find out more about this work please contact: Genna Marcantonio at

[email protected]

We are excited about this work, we hope you will be too and that we can work together to develop a truly

transformational platform.
