Reno Entrepreneur Expo - Event to offer advice, networking for entrepreneurs
The Reno Gazette-Journal’s Zack Hall reports on the upcoming EntrepreneurshipWeek USA activities.
Entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs will have plenty of 
opportunities for help during the next week as Northern Nevada kicks off the first EntrepreneurshipWeek.
The event, which begins Saturday with a SCORE seminar and runs through March 3, feature seminars, open houses and networking events, culminating with the Entrepreneur Expo on March 2.
The local events, which coincide with national event EntrepreneurshipWeek USA, are aimed at making available the multiple resources to budding entrepreneurs in the state, said Dave Archer, managing director of the Nevada Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology.
“We have a tremendous amount of resources in state to help entrepreneurs,” said Archer, who helped plan the week. “Many just don’t know about them.”
Nevada has relied heavily on entrepreneurs throughout its history and, currently, 85 percent of the state’s businesses have fewer than 20 employees, Archer said.
Making resources easily accessible to the public is critical to the future growth of the state, said local entrepreneur Darik Volpa, CEO of Understand.com.
“As Nevada becomes one of the leading entrepreneurial states, it is important that we continue to influence future business to grow here,” Volpa said. “NCET and the programs that it promotes are incredible assets to the future of business in the state.”
