More than 200 educators, business leaders, government officials, and entrepreneurs from across the State of Nebraska gathered at the Strategic Air and Space Museum on November 30 to hear the results of a survey by The Gallup Organization, commissioned by Jim Krieger. Krieger worked with Bill Walstad, the John T. and Mable M. Hay professor of economics and Eric Thompson, the director of the Bureau of Business Research and associate professor of economics to design the survey and Walstad and Thompson are producing a book about the climate for entrepreneurship in Nebraska.
"Nebraska is one of many states and regions that are pursuing the same vision: a more diversified economic base, growth in existing businesses, and attracting new entities. The intent is to create new jobs in order to retain and attract talent and encourage more wealth creation. I am convinced that one important way to advance these objectives is to increase partnerships among business, education and government. That's what this summit is about. It brings together Nebraska leaders from the public and private sectors to consider strategies for the future." J.B. Milliken
