NGA Releases Third New Economy Paper
The National Governors' Association has released its third paper in the New Economy Series. Nurturing Entrepreneurial Growth in the New Economy, written by Thom Rubel and Scott Palladino, outlines eleven different approaches states have implemented to encourage entrepreneurship:
- improving access to capital;
- providing technical assistance;
- streamlining securities regulation;
- improving state regulatory and licensing environments;
- implementing regulatory reform;
- building intellectual capacity at state universities;
- creating industry clusters;
- improving state tax environments;
- improving entrepreneurship education;
- reaching out to entrepreneurs; and
- recognizing entrepreneurial achievement.
Several examples of each approach are described in the 23-page paper. Copies can be downloaded from the NGA website: http://www.nga.org
