A truly unique element of a start-up company is its ability to propel new technologies and little-known localities to the center of the public attention.  The time a community invests in start-up companies can  go a long way in fostering the type of environments that are conducive to innovation. Local governments worldwide engage in activities to invest in their start-ups, and the Knowledge Network serves as a great resource for information about cultivating local start-ups. Read through the following resources and comment below to share how your community interacts with your local start-up businesses.

 

 

These resources, and more, on community development, economic development and business retention can be found on their individual topic pages, but I encourage you to continue the discussion below in this post’s comments section.
