"We're growing a two sided based equity model, into a Web based e-market," said EquityNet's CEO R.R. (Ron) Goforth, a retired UA professor. "On the equity end of an e-market place we provide investors with a prescreened list of companies seeking investment, and for the company seeking money, it provides them with contacts in the investor community."
Four companies that verbally committed to establish headquarters by year's end in Fayetteville's Development and Technology Park came from Sweden to visit Fayetteville. The visit came after the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce southern region director Per-Erik Persson discovered his sustainability vision matched that of Fayetteville's green initiative.
"This is a win-win for everyone," Persson said. "I see this as an international center, a global hub in Fayetteville and Northwest Arkansas for green technologies - technologies the world needs for its survival."
