Entrepreneurship matters to all of us – regardless of whether we are entrepreneurs ourselves. The success of these businesses is integral to the economic stability and growth of our entire community. Job creation, innovation, and economic growth are a result of our local small business success. Many students come to Missouri Western with an entrepreneurial attitude. It has been reported that nearly two-thirds of Gen Z have the goal of owning their own business, and the importance of entrepreneurship to the future of our community cannot be understated. The Craig School of Business Center for Entrepreneurship assists businesses throughout the region for free.  If you know someone who has an existing business or would like to start a business, please connect them to us.
