Entrepreneur and startup advocate Ben Yoskovitz says that in addition to funding, startup visas and hands off policies, communities interested in spurring entrepreneurship should also consider funding travel programs to startup capitals like New York City and the Silicon Valley. Such travel programs can benefit young startup entrepreneurs and the community as they bring what they have learned back to your town and share it with others.

That's the way Chinese entrepreneurs do. That's why their economy grew fast. To increase number of investors, it really needs to have a super persuasive personality, and that's the kind of person the country's government must choose . That's a nice idea.

Hi Ben,

Appreciated running across your post on the BizSugar community. I think the benefit of studying other startup ecosystems shouldn't be underrated. It can also go beyond travel programs for local entrepreneurs. How about also arranging for local visits by successful entrepreneurs and leaders in entrepreneurship or seminars and workshops that bring experts into your community so that they can give you some insight into what local resources you may be overlooking?
