Assessing Entrepreneurship Capacity Inventory of Entrepreneurship: BEA-REIS data Census (non-employer statistics) County Business Patterns Panel Study on Entrepreneurial Dynamics Business owners survey Capacity for New Entrepreneurs: Educational attainment Immigration and diversity Financial resources Business resources

  21. Your Region’s Capacity for Innovation • Research & Development (R&D) assets • Regional universities or community colleges • Other resources that foster innovation

  22. The Creative Class • Should be attracted and retained • Develop, design or create new applications, ideas, relationships, systems or products • Considered “footloose” • Attracted to amenities Florida, 2002

  23. Why the Creative Class? • The density of creative class has a positive effect on job growth both in the ‘creative’ and ‘non-creative’ sectors. • Creative capital and entrepreneurship work in synergy with one another to increase employment opportunities in both sectors.

  29. Data Needs • Industry sector data: number of establishments (over time), number of employees, payroll, earnings & value added • Potential linkages to determine value chains

  30. You Think There Is a Regional Cluster, So Now What? • Map the cluster • Determine if growing or declining • Evaluate regional capacity • Identify potential leakages & opportunities • Determine potential strengthening strategies
