Hence, although economies at this moderate level of competitiveness are present in all five clusters, a full one-third of the 21 moderately competitive economies are High-Ambition economies, where barriers to entry for entrepreneurs are higher and the relative attractiveness of early-stage entrepreneurship as a career option is decreasing, but the share of entrepreneurs that are ambitious enough to take advantage of growing and opening markets is increasing. Economies that match this description are
those of Israel, Ireland, Latvia (these countries also have comparatively high levels of innovative entrepreneurs), Romania, Hungary, Croatia (three countries with economies that have average levels of entrepreneurial innovation) and China, which stands out in this group for its relatively high early-stage entrepreneurial activity.
