Business Assistance
The Nebraska Industrial Competitive Alliance (NICA) Board initiatives are unique in the nation, in
that they are led by a public/private partnership. To assure that businesses
remain competitive in Nebraska, the core strategic planning and governance of
two major initiatives are located with NICA, with administrative support from
the Nebraska Department of Economic Development. Policy information is provided
by cross-functional working teams of educators, labor, economic development,
community colleges, postsecondary education and business representatives. NICA
has standing committees for the
Nebraska MEP and the
Targeted Industry Program
that are proving to be a powerful force in providing Nebraska's competitiveness
initiatives with the passion, engagement, and developmental speed of
entrepreneurial ventures.
