Expanding Women and Minority Entrepreneurs
Small businesses are the heart of the American economy. They drive economic growth and innovation, and create roughly two-thirds of new jobs in the United States. As the number of new business applications has grown in the U.S., women and minorities have continued to face barriers in starting and scaling businesses. In this segment presented by Wells Fargo, business leaders, policy experts, and advocates will discuss these challenges as well as the role of the private sector and government in supporting the creation, sustainment, and expansion of women- and diverse-owned small businesses.
