Entrepreneurial Cities

I am spending the next week in warm Sedona, Arizona...a little rest and relaxation. I thought I'd leave an extra post this week. It's less about creativity and more about what cities are entrepreneurial "hotspots." INC Magazine gathered the data for this annual issue. They discovered that big cities are in idle...while smaller cities are really pushing the envelop.

I took time to look up the rankings for the major cities in Wisconsin and here are the results: Madison was ranked 27th on in the Medium Size Cities category...and Milwaukee was ranked 52nd in the Large Cities category. Overall, Madison was ranked 122 and Milwaukee came in at 303. Madison is doing well in this category thanks to stem cell research and the increase in biotech industry. Milwaukee is working hard to be a hub for research too.

Oh...and how about Sedona Arizona...It's not listed. But Yuma Arizona is ranked number 1 overall and Phoenix is ranked number 6 overall. Well done.

How does your city rank?
