The "A Bolder Way Forward" initiative by Utah State University's Utah Women & Leadership Project aims to make Utah a leading state for women-owned businesses in terms of growth and longevity. The Entrepreneurship spoke of this initiative focuses on eliminating barriers such as limited access to capital, mentors, affordable childcare, and awareness of business training and resources that hinder women from starting and sustaining successful businesses. By addressing these challenges, the program seeks to empower more Utah women to thrive as entrepreneurs, thereby enhancing the state's economic vitality.
