This week is Global Entrepreneurship Week, and the firm was proud to play a role in events held in New Orleans and Baton Rouge over the past several days.  The firm would like to thank the many people and companies involved in making Innovation Louisiana 2013 and Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week great successes for Louisiana businesses! Graffagnini + Associates was proud to be a sponsor of Innovation Louisiana 2013, held at the New Orleans BioInnovation Center. Mark Graffagnini participated in two panels discussing issues related to Louisiana businesses during Innovation Louisiana 2013.   The firm was a proud sponsor last year of SeNSE Pitch Night during Baton Rouge Entrepreneurship Week, and the firm followed its continued support of Baton Rouge entrepreneurialism with participation by Mark Graffagnini, who appeared as a “shark” during last night’s event.  Local and regional media covered last night’s event and the events during Innovation Louisiana 2013.
