The Santa Cruz County Office for Economic Development is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual 82% Micro Business Summit event at Cabrillo College. Open to 300 local small businesses, the daylong conference will feature a keynote speaker and twenty education sessions to help small business owners navigate the marketplace to increase their exposure, grow their business and boost profitability.
“Santa Cruz County has a long tradition of incubating vibrant, successful, one-of-a-kind businesses that employ the majority of our workforce,” County Economic Development Coordinator Barbara Mason said. 82% of local businesses have nine or fewer employees, classifying them as micro-entrepreneurs. The County, along with partners Central Coast Small Business Development Center, Slingshot SV, and the San Lorenzo Valley Chamber of Commerce, wants to recognize the backbone of our local economy by holding an annual event that honors their spirit while giving them real-world tools to apply during day-to-day operations.
