National Invest in Veterans Week® vs. National Veterans Small Business Week: A Call for a More Comprehensive Approach

Veteran entrepreneurship is vital to the U.S. economy, with veteran-owned businesses contributing over $1.2 trillion annually. However, there is a stark difference in the approach, scope, and impact of National Invest in Veterans Week® (NIVW) and the Small Business Administration’s National Veterans Small Business Week (NVSBW). While both aim to support veteran entrepreneurs, NIVW goes beyond surface-level recognition by providing tailored resources, policy advocacy, and initiatives that address systemic barriers.
