Mission
The West Virginia Small Business Technology Education and Competitiveness Initiative works to accomplish the following:
1) Generate greater demand for and use of broadband connectivity options among West Virginia businesses, particularly in smaller and rural communities;
2) Expand awareness, adoption and use of new web-based technologies and business-solution technological applications that are available to improve West Virginia’s small business competitiveness, performance capabilities and market reach; and
3) Foster and facilitate close communication and collaboration among the many different government, business, non-profit and economic development organizations whose purpose is to enable business growth and expansion.
Among its many programs and activities, the partners in this initiative will focus on the following objectives:
- Showcase “off the shelf” technological applications and hosted applications to improve business processes and solve business problems.
- Educate small business people on what technological applications are available and where they can purchase or lease these.
- Link small businesses with technological providers/solutions.
