Wisconsin School of Business Professor Anne Miner, Management and Human Resources, and Professor Brad Barham of the Department of Agricultural Economics, lead the WAGE Technology Entrepreneurship & Institutions Collaborative which recently won a $40,000 grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. The grant will help to extend the reach of their third annual conference, featuring top-tier researchers and emerging scholars from around the world.

The conference, “Technology Entrepreneurship & Institutions: Contemporary &
International Research” will be offered June 9 and 10. Conference themes will include how laws, rules, and norms influence technology entrepreneurship, and how efforts to promote technology entrepreneurship influence long-term changes in the private and public institutions involved (in both anticipated and unanticipated ways). For example, do university regulations to promote startups have deleterious effects on science in the long-term?

The Kauffman Foundation works nationwide to promote entrepreneurship
by working with educators, researchers, and others to further understanding of the economic impact of entrepreneurship. WAGE is the UW-Madison Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy.
