Entrepreneurial Cities Index
eCities — the Entrepreneurial Cities Index — is an annual research study that examines community level factors that influence entrepreneurship, economic development, and job growth. The focus is on entrepreneurship because of its importance to expansion and diversification of regional economies and small businesses' impact on job creation. The study continues to build a body of knowledge about the best practices that communities employ to encourage entrepreneurship and local growth.
All local governments are invited to participate in the eCities project. The process is easy and you are provided with a local evaluation report that you can use for benchmarking purposes. If you are a local government that wishes to share in the best practices of communities to promote entrepreneurial growth and economic development, you are encouraged to contact Tim Davis at 313.593.4060 or tadavis@umd.umich.edu for more information and a login to include your community in the project.
