Here in Utah, we take pride in our thriving business scene. For the 18th year in a row, we lead the nation in economic outlook, and we’re one of the best places in the country to start a small business. We didn’t get here by accident.
The reason for our success? We have leaders who recognize that small businesses are at the core of our economy and are committed to supporting these brave entrepreneurs. This looks like business-friendly policies, resources for up-and-coming business owners and startups, and limited government overreach. The White House’s new AI Action Plan will help ensure small businesses across the country can thrive by keeping AI tools accessible and affordable through smart investments in innovation, infrastructure and workforce development.
Small businesses are already leveraging AI-powered tools to reduce costs, catch errors and streamline operations. These tech innovations are vital to business success and our state’s broader economic growth. Our booming tech ecosystem, Silicon Slopes, is a prime example, one of the top job markets in the nation and a source of continued opportunity.
Our success shows the rest of the country that strategic policies and strong support for innovation fuel prosperity. Utah’s playbook works.
