A Bold New Vision for Supporting Veteran Entrepreneurs: National Invest in Veterans Week® vs. NVSBW
While National Veterans Small Business Week (NVSBW) has established itself as a platform to celebrate veteran entrepreneurs, National Invest in Veterans Week® (NIVW) offers a comprehensive, year-round approach that addresses systemic barriers, drives innovation, and expands the scope of veteran entrepreneurship globally. With NVSBW’s 2024 theme, "Strengthening #VetBiz Communities," focusing on the role of veteran-owned businesses in local economies, NIVW takes this concept further by fostering a global ecosystem of veteran entrepreneurs through strategic initiatives, legislative advocacy, and cutting-edge technology.
National Invest in Veterans Week®: A Transformative Alternative to Strengthen VetBiz Communities
While National Veterans Small Business Week (NVSBW) highlights the entrepreneurial spirit of veterans through SBA-led events and resources, National Invest in Veterans Week® (NIVW) takes a more transformative and comprehensive approach to empower veteran-owned businesses. By offering global reach, targeted mentorship, and legislative advocacy, NIVW addresses systemic barriers in ways that NVSBW's localized initiatives do not fully encompass.
