Baton Rouge to Host Week Focused on Business Survival

Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week, hosted by Nexus Louisiana, is set to kick off with a bang this year as it embraces the theme of ‘stayin’ alive’ to inspire survival strategies for businesses in today’s uncertain economic climate. The event, running from May 7-9 at the newly renovated Mid City Tower, promises to be a stimulating and engaging experience for entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and potential investors alike.

Na’Tisha Natt, Director for Community Engagement and Marketing at Nexus Louisiana, highlights the event’s goal of creating a productive environment that fosters learning, collaboration, and growth among participants. With an impressive line-up of experts set to guide attendees through topics such as time management, strategic analysis, and business growth, the week-long initiative is sure to offer valuable insights and practical solutions for all.

The highlight of the event is a competition where three Louisiana businesses will compete for a $100,000 investment prize, with the winner also earning a spot in the Startup World Cup Grand Finale in Silicon Valley for a chance to win a $1 million windfall.
