FY 2016 Appropriation

Prior to FY 2013 Business Creation was charged with creating new, high quality jobs in the State of Utah through the development of the business environment within specific business clusters. The program worked to accelerate the transition of technologies from Utah's institutions of higher education into Utah companies by providing access to business teams and helping to leverage capital for startup companies. Beginning in FY 2013 most of the functions for Business Creation were transitioned to the Business Outreach and International Trade Program to align the budgets with the internal office structure.
