| Abstract | Research on entrepreneurship in rural areas has increasingly stressed the importance of a supportive environment and social networks in enhancing innovation. This report examines a novel approach to promoting entrepreneurship using regional Inventor & Entrepreneur (I&E) Clubs. A telephone survey of 21 I&E Clubs was completed to collect information on how they were established and organized as well as to document the out-comes of their activities. More than one-third (38%) of the clubs reported that new jobs had been created in their region because of participation in the club. The same number of respondents indicated at least one new patent had been filed by a member as a result of participation in the club. Similarly, 29 percent of the respondents reported members have received grants for research or business idea development. Several noted distance and lack of population density as major obstacles to promoting entrepreneurship in rural areas. Wisconsin I&E Clubs address these obstacles by providing a local venue for net-working among entrepreneurs, as well as for linking participants into a larger system of support services outside the community. Wisconsin I&E Club Survey is appended. (Contains 4 figures.) (ERIC). |
