SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly eight in ten executives in the global innovation sector plan to grow their workforce in 2014, and more than nine in 10 say it is a challenge to find the talent they need to do so, according to a study released today by Silicon Valley Bank, the premier financial partner to technology, life science and cleantech companies and their investors worldwide.
These findings, highlighted in the 2014 Innovation Economy Outlook study, are based on Silicon Valley Bank's annual survey of more than 1,200 executives from software, hardware, cleantech and life science/healthcare companies in startup and growth stages of business in the US, UK and other global innovation hubs. In addition to the high rate of anticipated job creation, the study also reveals pervasive optimism, intent to access international markets for sales, and a struggle to obtain equity capital by some of the most innovative, high-growth companies in the world.
