In
the
past
months,
investments
in
entreprenuerial
efforts
have
emerged
in
many
forums
as
one
of
the
principal
roads
to
economic
recupera0on
“Our
future
prosperity
in
part
depends
on
whether
or
not
we
are
crea7ng
an
environment
in
which
folks
can
test
new
ideas,
bring
new
products
to
market,
and
generate
new
businesses.
And
that’s
not
just
a
challenge
for
government.
It’s
a
challenge
that
requires
businesses,
and
leaders,
and
universi7es,
[and]
others
to
seek
out
new
ways
to
promote
entrepreneurship
across
this
country.”
