Entrepreneurial Communities Update
April 6, 2016  
Discover why building an ecosystem matters
Want to learn more about entrepreneurial ecosystems - why they are important and how to build them in your communities? Consider reserving a spot at the Growing Entrepreneurial Communities Summit, May 4 - 5, in Kansas City. As a co-sponsor, we think this gathering provides a great opportunity to explore what's working with other practitioners. If you can't make it, or have already registered, visit our new webpage dedicated to sharing the tools and resources presented at the Summit.

We'll be updating this page frequently in the coming weeks with pre-summit materials designed to help "prime the pump" for the event and, after the summit, materials shared by presenters. Some of those pre-summit materials already uploaded include:
  • Webinar - "Understanding Innovation & Entrepreneur Ecosystems for Economic Development", Apr. 21.
  • Article - "Creating Entrepreneurial Communities:  Building Community Capacity for Ecosystem Development"
You'll definitely want to bookmark this webpage and visit frequently! And, for insights during the summit, follow hashtag, #GrowingEShip.
