New Report Explores Small Business ‘Green Boom’

Entrepreneurship.org (7/6, Marich) – The Small Wonders report [by the Center for Small Business and the Enivornment] predicts that clean energy innovations will lead to a "green entrepreneurial boom," and that the credit for that boom will go to the seemingly countless number of budding start-ups, not the Fortune 500.

The report features over 100 examples of small businesses providing products and services that appeal to growing consumer demand. “This is a decentralized world, jam-packed with businesses so diverse and so dynamic they are hard even to see, let alone track,” according to the publisher, the Center for Small Business and the Environment (CSBE). CSBE offers some workable policy recommendations to support green entrepreneurship and the clean energy economy, such as improving small business access to stimulus funds at the state and federal levels.
