North Central Wisconsin Enterpreneurship Assessment
The North Central Wisconsin Regional Entrepreneurship Assessment examines how well the North Central Wisconsin Region is supporting entrepreneurs. The assessment contains a regional profile of the Region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem including business establishment trends, an overview of the five drivers of entrepreneurship and how they impact entrepreneurship throughout the Region, a summary of a survey sent out to local business owners throughout the Region, and recommendations intended to enhance the Region’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The objectives of this report are to provide a better understanding of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the North Central Wisconsin Region, and to develop actionable recommendations based on the findings of the assessment.
