  • The Wyoming Jobs Project: a Guide to Creating Jobs in Carbon Tech
    The American Jobs Project The Wyoming Jobs Project: A Guide to Creating Jobs in Carbon Tech 1 The American Jobs Project A Letter from the American Jobs Project It is no secret that America’s middle class is in crisis; of the millions of jobs lost during the recession, most were good-paying, middle-class jobs.1 Unfortunately, many of the jobs created during the recovery have been in low-skill, low-paying occupations.2 It is true that the United States is unlikely to attract the traditional manufacturing jobs of the past, but our research shows that with innovative policies and a smart focus on industrial sectors, states can become global hubs of innovation and create new jobs in advanced industries that capitalize on each state’s strengths. Our analysis starts with identifying the biggest market opportunity of our era. The world has embarked on a historic energy transformation, and the growing demand for advanced energy and related technology draws on “the mother of all markets” for U.S. businesses to build and sell those solutions.3 Strategically minded businesspeople are taking advantage of this accelerating market and seeing outsized returns. In 2016, the private sector reported $1.4 trillion in global advanced energy revenues, which is equal to that of the global apparel industry and nearly twice as much as the global airline industry.4 And jobs? At least 9.8 million people were employed in the global advanced energy industry in 2016, and market growth could support over 14 million additional jobs by 2030.5 The question for the United States is: Where will those new jobs be created? START QUOTE BOX At least 9.8 million people were employed in the global advanced energy industry in 2016, and market growth could support 14 million jobs by 2030.6 END QUOTE BOX We believe that our states are the answer to this question.

  • Guidelines for Creating a Business Incubator Slesarev M.A., Professor at the Department of Management, Marketing and Foreign Economic Affairs, MGIMO
    Guidelines for creating a business incubator Slesarev M.A., Professor at the Department of Management, Marketing and Foreign Economic Affairs, MGIMO 1. Concept of a business incubator and its types Business incubator — an organization that aims is to support new small en- terprises and entrepreneurs who, due to lack of financial resources, lack of experi- ence and (or) qualifications, are not able to implement their projects outside the busi- ness incubator. According to the international classification, business incubators are divided into university and non-university (traditional) models. Traditional services of a business incubator services: provision of a working space equipped with furniture, computers, communi- cations and office equipment, on preferential rental terms; provision of common areas (meeting rooms, rooms for meetings and trainings, kitchen space, etc.); provision of paid, preferential or free basic services, such as secretarial ser- vices, administration, accounting and management accounting, Internet ac- cess; project expertise, assistance in writing a business plan; consulting services on various aspects of business activity; involvement of external specialists and mentors, professional development and training services (thematic seminars and trainings); services for the protection and valuation of intellectual property, licensing and certification of innovative products; assistance in obtaining bank loans, providing guarantees for banks, attracting venture funds and business angels; “Packaging” of projects for investors: design and preparation of presentation materials, organization of exhibitions and presentations (pitches) of projects and other services. According to the methodology of the MGIMO Innovation and Business Incu- bation Development Fund (FIBI), the general characteristics of a business incubator should include the area, number of staff, as well as industry specialization and the specificities of client work (for example, participation in the authorized capital).
