Event Details
Join fellow economic development professionals for an open discussion on strengthening entrepreneurship and building a more diverse, resilient local business ecosystem. Facilitated by Chris Egelston of the Midland Institute for Entrepreneurship, this roundtable will center on what communities are doing to support entrepreneurs and small businesses, how they connect business owners with the resources they need to succeed, and where opportunities exist to expand local business ownership. Together, we’ll share community approaches, identify groups of potential entrepreneurs who may be underserved or overlooked, discuss how to measure the success of entrepreneurship initiatives, and explore how small businesses and new ventures can contribute to a stronger, more diverse economy.
Come ready to participate! This roundtable is designed for open, candid conversation, so bring examples of what your community is doing, along with your experiences, questions, and ideas. Share what's working, discuss gaps or challenges in your local ecosystem, and learn from how your colleagues are creating opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses to grow.
