Small Business and Entrepreneurship during an Economic Recovery

Posted by on December 19, 2011

On November 9-10, 2011 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System hosted a forum entitled Small Business and Entrepreneurship during an Economic Recovery in collaboration with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.

This forum brought together experts from a range of disciplines to share their perspectives on small business issues, including ideas around the financing and technical needs of small businesses and entrepreneurs, and the important role these firms are playing in creating jobs during the current economic environment.  It was also organized to address some of the unique issues and challenges faced by women- and minority-owned firms as a way to identify research, policy, and practice recommendations to better support these groups.

Materials from this event (conference papers, video clips, transcripts, and speaker presentations) have been posted materials to the Federal Reserve Board’s website, viewable by clicking here.
