In the fall of 2007, the Kauffman Foundation will host a symposium for entrepreneurship and innovation data at our offices in Kansas City, Missouri. The Kauffman Foundation sees the creation and distribution of data sets on entrepreneurship and innovation as a critical aspect of our efforts to foster a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship and to catalyze entrepreneurial success. The symposium will feature new datasets supported by the Kauffman Foundation, including the Integrated Longitudinal Business Database at the Census Bureau, the Kauffman Firm Survey, and the Panel Study on Entrepreneurial Dynamics II. In addition, newly updated data sets such as the National Bureau of Economic Research Patent Database will be discussed. |
