“…The issue of gender inequality in entrepreneurship, combined with the unnatural overrepresentation of men in the population of entrepreneurs, is still clearly present in science, the media, and politics. That, in turn, is associated with the identified ineffectiveness of many solutions used in this area, including financing new companies from the non-repayable and repayable public and private funds (Chhatoi, 2022;Costa, Pita, 2020) and the search for new solutions in this area (Clayton, 2023).…”

Results:The Authors present the issue of regional competitiveness, with particular focus on the methods of assessing and building the competitiveness of regions through selection of an optimal strategy for further development thereof. In this context, two selected instruments of socio-tourist infrastructure are discussed, which can form a basis for formulation of strategies to improve the competitiveness and development of regions in Poland. The infrastructure elements presented serve as an example of areas characterized by great potential for growth, as a consequence of years of neglect (health care), or constrained by independent external COVID-19 pandemic associated conditions (accommodation industry).

High growth firms (HGFs) are a vital determinant of regional economic competitiveness. This paper examines the effectiveness of a Welsh publicly funded business accelerator programme (BAP) designed to nurture HGFs via relational support measures. The paper teases out both the support requirements sought by high growth entrepreneurs, together with the perceived effectiveness of the programme’s offering. Hitherto, the literature has been silent in terms of the mental well-being and psychological resilience of founders of HGFs. This study discovered how mental well-being and psychological resilience of entrepreneurs was very acutely and detrimentally affected when experiencing periods of rapid firm growth. The research also uncovered a disconnect between the support needs of HGFs and those provided by BAPs. To help develop the capabilities and durability of entrepreneurs, “growth readiness” coaching together with psychological resilience training seem appropriate policy measures to help entrepreneurs successfully navigate turbulent episodes of high growth.
