Mission

The Nebraska Entrepreneurship Task Force (NETForce) identifies and shares resources to further entrepreneurship through education, collaboration and innovation.

Goals

NETForce advocates for and strengthen the entrepreneurship ecosystems of Nebraska via the following:

• Expand entrepreneurship education/training opportunities and sharing of best practices
• Identify, coordinate and leverage resources for ongoing support of Nebraska entrepreneurs
• Increase outreach of entrepreneurial programs and services in the state
• Highlight the successes of Nebraska entrepreneurs
• Develop partnership between education and economic development statewide

Objectives

To build network capacity, NETForce annually holds three meetings (Winter, Spring & Fall) focused on networking, collaborations and sharing of entrepreneurial education and resources.

To expand entrepreneurship outreach and advocacy, NETForce hosts an annual Nebraska Entrepreneurship Best Practices Summit, or similar educational event, to bring current research, practices and education to teachers, service providers, students and economic developers.
