CAE’S POLICY AGENDA TO REVITALIZE AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURSHIPINNOVATION
COMMERCIALIZING NEW IDEAS IS THE BASIC CRAFT AND CONTRIBUTION OF ENTREPRENEURS. INNOVATION CAN COME FROM ENTREPRENEURS’ IMAGINATION, THROUGH EXPERIMENTATION, OR AS THE RESULT OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY ANDDISCOVERY.
Whether developing a new product, or developing, marketing, distributing, or delivering existing products in a new way, commercializing new ideas are the essence of innovation, which drives productivity gains and economic growth, and creates jobs, wealth, andopportunity.

TALENT
WORLD-CLASS TALENT IS ESSENTIAL TO TURN GREAT NEW IDEAS INTO VIABLE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, IDENTIFY AND CULTIVATE NEW MARKETS, AND BUILDGREAT BUSINESSES.
Entrepreneurs create new jobs but are often unable to find candidates with the required skills. The U.S. education system is failing to meet the skill needs of 21st-century businesses, and America’s immigration policies fail to recognize that the competition for innovative talent is global.Learn more »
CAPITAL
CAPITAL IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF ANY NEW BUSINESS. Entrepreneurs need capital to further develop their product or service idea, research the marketplace, hire employees, and develop and implement a strategy for identifying and targeting customers.Learn more »
REGULATION
REGULATION IS ESSENTIAL TO HEALTHY MARKET ECONOMIES, BUT IT ISN’T FREE OR WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE. The stifling effect of regulatory burden, complexity, and uncertainty is particularly challenging for fragile startups, which lack the resources and scale of larger firms over which to absorb and amortize the costs of compliance.Learn more »

This report outlines a comprehensive approach, which we call “entrepreneur-led economic development,” for working with these important companies. The goal is to create feedback loops between entrepreneurial leaders and other local decision makers and to cultivate networks that connect successful entrepreneurial leaders with future growth-oriented founders who can use their guidance to grow.Read the report »

RISE OF THE GLOBAL STARTUP CITY The United States is the birthplace of modern, high-tech startups, and the funding model that helps support them.
