NEWS | NSBA Supports the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act on Behalf of Small Business

Rep. Sharice Davids' (D-KS-03) bipartisan 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act recognizes that inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs through education and mentorship is critical to the long-term strength of America's small-business economy.

The National Small Business Association (NSBA) supports H.R. 8404, the 21st Century Entrepreneurship Act, bipartisan legislation that helps inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs by expanding access to entrepreneurship education and mentorship.

America's small businesses are the backbone of the economy, but sustaining that strength requires investing in tomorrow's innovators and job creators. By leveraging the expertise of the U.S. Small Business Administration's SCORE program, the bill connects young people with experienced business mentors and introduces them to the opportunities and rewards of entrepreneurship.

For nearly 90 years, NSBA has championed policies that foster entrepreneurship, strengthen the small-business ecosystem, and expand opportunities for aspiring business owners. Encouraging entrepreneurial thinking at an early age helps cultivate the skills, confidence, and innovation needed to build successful businesses and stronger communities.
