All indications are that entrepreneurship continues to be the engine driving economic growth.
The U.S. culture is highly conducive to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are accepted and respected. In making these investments, the Kauffman Center partnered with organizations, thought leaders and industry standard-bearers to work toward the goal of accelerating entrepreneurship in America. Significant positive impact on entrepreneurial thinking, creativity, self-confidence and leadership skills was measured in elementary and high school students participating in the Center's youth programs. The Kauffman Center ERIC Adjunct Clearinghouse for Entrepreneurship Education positioned itself as a national information acquisition and dissemination database resource for entrepreneurship education across all levels and sectors.
