Betting On Start-Ups as an Alternative to Smes for Algeria's Economic Take-Off

Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of the trade-off between SMEs or start-ups to achieve the desired economic take-off in Algeria by assessing the performance of SMEs in Algeria and what they have achieved so far, and whether they have been able to achieve the set goals. The state has also bet on the promotion of start-ups as a powerful enabler of economic take-off.

      The research concluded that the SME sector has not been able to achieve the desired goal despite the resources allocated by the state to promote and develop this sector, yet the state is still counting on it along with the startup sector, because this fabric has proven its ability to achieve economic take-off.
