California entrepreneurship is alive and well. In the worst economic downturn since World War II, statistics from the Secretary of State show that 93,519 businesses incorporated in California in 2009. Against all odds, 93,519 California entrepreneurs committed time and money to building new businesses in our state.
To raise the performance level of small businesses across California, EWD is launching a new Small Business Programs Initiative with a strong focus on entrepreneurship. The newly created Business and Entrepreneurship Centers (BEC) will facilitate the success of business and entrepreneurship through partnerships and collaborations with business, industry, education and government.
The BECs will leverage and utilize the resources of other business-related organizations in their region to broaden the overall services available to BEC clients. The BEC's will integrate their services into the region's network of principal economic development organizations, financial institutions, community colleges, and regional business and industry associations.
Statewide efforts of the BECs include 1) training in topics relevant to small businesses; 2) conducting research to identity solutions to economic issues and/or business opportunities; and 3) leveraging community college and other training resources.
For more information about the BECs, contact BEC Statewide Director Michael Roessler at (916) 361-2964 or mroessler@cccewd.net.
