6 main gaps to focus on…
1. The Evidence Gap: public and private sector organisations identify, target and
evaluate their support to scale-up companies.
2. The Skills Gap: improve the ecosystem so scale-ups can find employees with the
skills they need
3. The Leadership Capacity gap: building their leadership capability
4. The Sales Gap: accessing customers in other markets / home market
5. The Finance Gap: accessing the right combination of finance
6. The Infrastructure Gap: navigating infrastructure
