Startups and Small Businesses are the backbone of the American economy. They are responsible for the vast majority of all new job creation in the United States; they are America's greatest source of innovation; and they are vital to our economic competitiveness.

The Center for Public Policy Innovation (CPPI) is pleased to invite you to the second event in our multi-part forum, Restoring U.S. Competitiveness: Creating Jobs and Unleashing the Potential of Small Businesses Through Technology and Innovation. This program will explore policies to facilitate small business growth through international trade; discuss how new technologies, such as cloud computing and mobile technology platforms, can extend the reach of American companies; and examine regulatory issues that impact job creation and innovation here in the United States.
