A resolution designating the week of February 11 through February 18, 2023, as "National Entrepreneurship Week" to recognize the importance and contributions of entrepreneurs and startups to the economic prosperity of the United States and the well-being of every community across the United States.
The resolution encourages federal, state, and local governments, along with educational institutions and civic organizations, to honor this week through events that celebrate entrepreneurship. It serves not only as a recognition of the existing contributions of entrepreneurs but also promotes the importance of entrepreneurship education in schools. By fostering an entrepreneurial spirit, it is aimed at inspiring future generations to engage in business creation and innovation.
SR68 is a resolution designating the week of February 11 through February 18, 2023, as 'National Entrepreneurship Week'. The bill acknowledges the significance of entrepreneurs and startups in driving the economic prosperity of the United States and enhancing the quality of life within communities. It aims to celebrate the contributions of these businesses which represent 99 percent of all U.S. businesses and account for nearly half of the workforce.
Although the bill is largely symbolic and serves to highlight important aspects of entrepreneurship, it also underscores the need for policies that nurture and support new business initiatives. While there is unlikely to be significant public contention over the bill's intent, the broader implications of supporting entrepreneurial initiatives in legislation may lead to discussions on how best to provide resources and support for startups, especially in lower-income and underserved communities.
