A new statewide coalition focused on providing “pro-entrepreneur policy advocacy” has launched in Missouri.
The coalition, called NEXT Missouri, is working to promote public policy that drives business creation and growth, and to boost the startup community’s influence by giving it a “cohesive voice” across all industries and geographies.
“New startups and their businesses are transforming Missouri’s economy, but the momentum is often uneven across Missouri, whether by geography or demographics or industry sector,” said Ben Johnson, president of NEXT Missouri and vice president of programs at BioSTL.
