Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt headed up a team of private businesspeople, government officials, educators, and entrepreneurs at the State Policy Academy on Entrepreneurship.
The team's purpose is to improve the entrepreneurial climate of Nevada.
Teams from other states joined the Nevada Academy in a three-day session.
Strategies addressed were:
- Creating a culture in which more people view entrepreneurship as a career option.
- The needs of startup businesses.
- Access to capital.
- Tax and regulatory policies that affect entrepreneurs.
- Meeting the workforce needs of entrepreneurial companies.
- Addressing regional variations in entrepreneurship.
- The role of universities in cultivating technology entrepreneurship.
The Nevada Academy team will meet again in December, then make recommendations to Gov. Kenny Guinn.
