Measuring Irish Entrepreneurship †International Benchmarks Measuring a country†s entrepreneurial profile is not a straightforward exercise.
Benchmarks are required to measure the impact of entrepreneurship and compare performance across a number of variables and between comparator countries.
Ireland is performing well against a number of international benchmarks on various business environment indicators.

Performance indicators will be developed to benchmark progress to compare best practice at home and abroad and to set stretch targets.
We are introducing closer monitoring of impacts to measure performance and to test areas of opportunity against international benchmarks in the areas of job creation, startups, market penetration, innovation, efficiency of public sector interface with enterprises, cost competitiveness, finance
