Countless studies have shown entrepreneurship and new business creation to be the largest drivers of job creation, GDP growth, and social mobility. Yet, most economic development strategies focus on scaling the few breakout startups rather than cultivating their vast pool of untapped entrepreneurial talent. Drawing on the longest and most comprehensive study on the social science of entrepreneurship (16+ years), this session introduces a practical framework for unlocking entrepreneurial potential in your region and translating it into measurable outcomes.

❯ **What You'll Learn:**

* Why startups, not corporations, create nearly all net new jobs — and how to capture this impact locally.
* The 5-step rule (Identify --> Educate → Activate → Accelerate → Scale) that governments, chambers, and cities can use to build thriving entrepreneurial ecosystems.
* How to quantify entrepreneurial potential using data-driven insights from 16+ years of research.
* The key entrepreneurial traits (curiosity, perseverance, self-reliance) that drive success, and how to develop them in your community.
* How regions can leverage their unique strengths instead of trying to be “the next Silicon Valley.”
* Why early-stage support and mindset development matter more than skills training alone.
* How to activate new funders and capital sources to sustain ecosystem growth.
