From the Desk of Director Durham – 3/6/14
In this month’s update, Director Durham talks about the importance of broadband to our business community. Surprisingly, almost 30% of businesses in Iowa do not use broadband- this means an estimated 23,000 businesses are still not connected. Connect Iowa is working hard to bring this number down in Iowa in partnership with IEDA. For more information on this topic, see the Broadband and Business: Leveraging Technology to Stimulate Economic Growth.research report from Connect Iowa.
The Iowa Economic Development Authority is pleased to collaborate with state entities such as the Technology Association of Iowa as they are instrumental in executing initiatives that support innovation and small business development. In this update, Director Durham covers i2i Innovators & Investors Forum, Prometheus Awards, and the Pitch and Grow production in April.
