E&I Data Symposium

The Kauffman Symposiums on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data are a multi-year series of workshops focused on the important and growing body of data collected on entrepreneurship and innovation.

The 2008 Kauffman Symposium theme is "Proposals to Advance Measurement of Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the United States." Twenty presentations will be made highlighting different proposals for advancing our understanding of entrepreneurship and/or innovation through modifications to existing data collection tools and methodologies.

More than 100 experts convened for the inaugural Kauffman Symposium on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data to learn about 38 new or newly-updated data sets. Proceedings for that Symposium are now available and include data set overviews, presentations from Symposium, and audio files of a majority of presentations.

The Kauffman Symposiums on Entrepreneurship and Innovation Data are part of an ongoing discussion on improving data in entrepreneurship and innovation. Sign-up here to stay informed of key updates from the Kauffman Foundation related to data.
