The conference is designed to help communities create environments and pathways that support entrepreneurs across Minnesota. We hope that your participation will: ● Increase your understanding of entrepreneurial resources that are available across the state; ● Provide you the opportunity to connect with service providers and other communities who are part of the Minnesota ecosystem; ● Inspire you to bring back new ideas and resources to support entrepreneurs in your towns. We have sixteen breakout sessions diving deep into a variety of topics related to supporting entrepreneurs. We have included a new format this year called “startup stories,” which is designed to put a spotlight on the entrepreneurial journey.enConference Paper
