Holistic Strategies for Business Development and Recruitment

This webinar focuses on community efforts to draw businesses and development into community cores, with an emphasis on entrepreneurial development. Participants will learn the basic components of recruitment publications, entrepreneurial educational activities, business incubation, entrepreneurial competitions, and enhancing entrepreneurial ecosystems. Successful entrepreneurial communities don’t just happen; they are a result of activities that make market entry a clearly defined process while offering incentives to improve success rates. This webinar highlights real applications implemented in a smaller rural Midwestern community with limited resources (so, action items covered should work in most areas). Webinar is led by Casey Woods of Emporia Main Street.
