MNB 02/05/07: Micros on the International Stage
As I mentioned earlier, I spent most of last week in Spain (or en route to Spain), where I delivered the keynote address to the eighth annual Escala Mikros Congress in Bilbao. The conference is all about microbusinesses - their needs, their successes, and what the regional economic development agencies can do to support their efforts. I have to tell you, being surrounded by officials who were actually excited about microbusinesses was a novel, but welcome, experience.
Plus, a couple of articles that address veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses - a constituency that is at the top of lots of minds, thanks to the war in Iraq.
Listen to this week's podcast.

Jet lag reigns supreme
Greetings!
Having returned from my trip abroad over the weekend (of which you'll hear more later), I'm just a little behind here. So, I deeply regret that the MNB Podcast will be a tad late this week.
I do expect to upload it later today. My apologies for the delay.
