\"8597476409_099f203348_n\"<\/a>The list of the 50 most disruptive companies of the year is an MIT initiative that recognizes those that have stood out the most during the year, either for strengthening their market position, or for the challenge they introduce to the position of leaders, or simply because they open up a new and emerging market (See here<\/a>). I really don’t think anyone is surprised that no Basque company is currently in this select club, but the most relevant question is not this, but whether we are really putting into play the necessary instruments so that we are available within a reasonable period of time that one is selected, or that there is at least a group of companies\/entrepreneurs that could perfectly enter the fray to be so.<\/p>\n

And the question is not trivial. Firstly, because these innovative companies create employment in the short term; among all those in the group, they employ more than 2,700,000 people and only the most recently created, established as of 2010, employ more than 10,000 people. Secondly, because it is more than likely that among these companies are the new business champions of the second half of the 21st century, those who really have the potential to make a difference and open new paths of prosperity and sustainability for the world with solutions. for energy storage, for the integration of renewables, the cure and personalized treatment of important diseases… And in view of the data, it is very unlikely that these companies are located in Europe (only 6 of the 50 most innovative are in Europe) and it is most probable that they will continue in the United States, which concentrates almost 3 quarters of the most disruptive companies. Finally, because it is not an impossible challenge, as demonstrated by the Kenyan company Safaricom, which has managed to gain a foothold in the competitive world of financial intermediation, ingeniously applying the new trends in mobility and the Internet, or the biotechnological company china BGI that offers genomic sequencing services that are overshadowing those of companies in more developed countries.<\/p>\n

Honestly, with what we do we will have to settle for hoping and trusting luck, but it is also likely that the growing and increasingly palpable awareness of the structural crisis that we face will facilitate the great economic and social transformations that are necessary and that go far beyond the savings and cutback programs that we face.<\/p>\n
