When Can We Start? Startup Eau Claire Week Is Here to Encourage Entrepreneurship

Eau Claire, News
The past year has forced all of us to think more creatively and to work more flexibly, traits that are especially valuable for entrepreneurs. So it’s no surprise that the Chippewa Valley’s largest annual entrepreneurship event – Startup Eau Claire Week – is taking the challenges of 2020 in stride.
The third annual event, which will run Nov. 16-20, is taking a virtual pivot this year, featuring a week of events and programs aimed “to increase awareness surrounding the local startup ecosystem as well as inspire and equip the community to rally around the digital transformation taking place in the region,” organizers say.
Startup Eau Claire Week – which is part of a larger, statewide network in cities such as Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay – is sponsored by Royal Credit Union. In a press release, organizers said shifting to virtual mode because of the coronavirus pandemic presents “a unique opportunity” locally.
