 "In my 22 years working in Nevada Economic development,
this is one of the most exciting and innovative initiatives I've seen a private-public partnership that carries the promise of not only economic growth, but also economic diversity by serving a broad range of industries traditionally underserved by government economic development programs." Tim Carlson
CEO, Powered by Renewables
Economic Development Adviser to NEDAB
 “Nevada has a long tradition of
focusing on economic development. I
see this as the next step in the
evolution of the state's economy. We live in a world economy, and we now need to compete in international markets, so we have to be smarter about it. What NEDAB is doing is a positive effort to grow an entrepreneurial state, to present to the world the additional benefits of being a
Nevada corporation and to raise
awareness of Nevada's capital
markets potential.” Dr. Keith Schwer
Director, The Center for Business and Economic Research
Professor of Economics, UNLV
NEDAB Research & Development Advisor
 “One of the most important actions we can take to attract business to Nevada is the creation of a chancery court for business litigation, such as
they might find in Delaware or New York. Currently both attorneys and litigants often would rather go to federal court than deal with the congestion in the Nevada civil courts. A dedicated business court would
also seat judges who have the
business experience to deal with the nuances of complex business litigation and make it better serve companies that face these issues.”  "From a public policy perspective, I believe knowledge - based companies bring the kind of high-paying 'good' jobs that we need in Nevada. A few have discovered that Nevada's capital formation laws are amongst the best in America, but many more struggle because they don't know our secret. Collectively, the people who have already committed to join or work with the NEDAB not only "get it", but have the experience, connections, resources and motivation to execute the plan." Bob Beers

- Nevada has the potential to become the premier destination in the U.S. for companies looking to enter the capital markets.
- Nevada corporations across a variety of industries can benefit from participating in the capital markets as a way to build long-term shareholder value, access capital, attract and retain good employees, increase visibility and improve business practices.
- An increased number of Nevada corporations successfully entering and sustaining participation in the capital markets will create diversified economic growth, increase the number of companies that physically relocate to Nevada, create new jobs and increase revenue for the state.
- Outreach to other economic development groups, legislators, regulators, business owners, and business and industry leaders.
- Educational Programs for companies seeking to learn about capital markets and the advantages of domiciling in Nevada as a private or public company.
- Policy Research and Recommendations to make Nevada even more attractive as a home for companies wanting to participate in capital markets.
- Locally-based Industry Screening Committees will help identify and screen companies that are good candidates for participation in the public markets.
NEDAB has already announced several of the committee members and has been garnering support among business and government leaders who have committed to working with the committee toward diversified economic growth for Nevada.

Nevada EDAB Proclamation
PCMC Seminar
 "So many companies are unaware that participation in the capital markets is even a viable option for them, and so many people involved in economic development are unaware of the
potential for capital market participation to drive economic development. We have a wide open opportunity here to
transform perceptions, help small business issues and grow the Nevada economy in the process." Mark Daigle, NEDAB Co-Chair
CEO of Colonial Bank N.A.'s
Nevada Region
 "Having helped build several businesses, I know the challenges entrepreneurs face when trying to grow from startup phase to a larger market. The NEDAB helps fill that gap with much-needed educational materials, incentive programs and other resources. Its existence will be a boon to Nevada entrepreneurs."  "The NEDAB is an exciting opportunity to help our economy grow, strengthen and diversify. Nevada must maintain a competitive,economic edge over our neighboring states - which are also experiencing unprecented growth.
We offer favorable tax and regulatory structure to small business issuers domiciled in Nevada. I am honored to serve with such a diverse group of individuals who share in the belief that Nevada's economic environment and
attractiveness must remain second to none." Robert Uithoven, NEDAB Member
