This publication by the Levin College of Public Affairs and Education' Center for Economic Development details the state of Toledo's Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) through the lenses of service providers and clients.

This report closes by providing actionable items for the BGC to pursue that directly address the gaps in support.
