Most economists agree that entrepreneurship is essential to the vitality of any economy – developed or developing. Entrepreneurs search for change, respond to it and turn it into opportunity, all the while creating new businesses and generating jobs for themselves and those they employ. In fact, in the United States, small businesses provide approximately 75 percent of the net new jobs added to the economy each year. They are the key ingredient to economic growth and innovation, revolutionizing the way people live and work.

Join us for breakfast as our panel explores “Entrepreneurship the Gannon Way: A Regional Imperative.”
