“In glorious sunshine and with almost 300 invited guests, King Carl XVI Gustaf opened ESBRI. This was followed by a symposium on the theme of “Creating growth and new jobs”, which was attended by several prominent researchers, including the American David L. Birch, who is known for his research on fast-growing companies, known as gazelles.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quote comes from an article about the inauguration and the symposium<\/a> in the first issue of the magazine Research on Entrepreneurship and Small Business<\/em>, which Esbri started publishing in the fall of 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tomorrow marks the 29th anniversary of the inauguration of ESBRI. The symposium held in conjunction with the inauguration had research as its focus – but public education as its purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since then, thousands of articles have been written and published. There have also been numerous conferences, open lectures, seminars, workshops and webinars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All to ensure that research-based knowledge is exactly what Esbri’s founder Leif Lundblad said in an interview for Esbri’s 5th anniversary: “Research must be understandable, readable and useful.”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
