In Australia, small business representatives are meeting at Parliament House to pitch ideas for productivity and long-term economic reform, with input feeding into the upcoming Economic Reform Roundtable. In the U.S., multiple events and programs are assisting small businesses: Wisconsin's Office of Business & Entrepreneurship, along with local partners, is hosting a free Small Business Clinic offering personalized consulting and resources to entrepreneurs at different stages. In Springfield, Illinois, the Minority Business Institute was launched to help minority business owners navigate city regulations and connect with local officials, while planning a small business symposium to further support community engagement. Additionally, in Fresno, California, Heart to Heart Training Center is preparing students for healthcare careers with flexible programs and financial assistance, emphasizing empathy and compassion in nursing. These efforts collectively underscore a broad commitment to fostering small business growth and resilience through education, resource access, and policy collaboration.
