Mayor Bieter: Boise is a City of Inspiration

If you are an innovator you will love Boise, Idaho.

Boise has been a destination for entrepreneurs since the 1860s, when gold miners and fur trappers first came to the valley.  The prospectors and merchants in those early days shared the same spirit of innovation and resourcefulness found today in Boise's tech community.  The momentum established along the Boise River in those early days is sustained to this day, and is apparent in the forward-thinking people with leading edge ideas who make Boise the vibrant and diverse community it is today.

The story of Boise, Idaho, is all about innovation and entrepreneurism.  Many media outlets have been sharing the "Boise story" lately, with top rankings from Forbes, Kiplinger, Fortune Small Biz, and a number of others.  I invite you to contact us and get more details - and to explore the many reasons the City of Boise is perfect for innovators and entrepreneurs.
