    Mayor Eric Johnson on Monday announced a new task force that will make recommendations meant to help turn Dallas into a top city for startup businesses and entrepreneurs.

    To lead the Mayor’s Task Force on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Mayor Johnson has named two co-chairs: Trey Bowles, the co-founder and Executive Chairman of the DEC Network and Mandy Price, the CEO and co-founder of Dallas-based Kanarys, Inc.

    The Task Force will focus on what the City of Dallas can do to attract, retain, and support startup companies. The group will also explore the actions that other governmental agencies, higher education institutions, and private sector partners can take to improve the already burgeoning startup culture in Dallas.

    “Dallas is a great city for big businesses, which is why we are home to 11 Fortune 500 companies’ headquarters,” Mayor Johnson said.

    “I am confident that, with leadership from Mandy Price and Trey Bowles, the Task Force will have the expertise and entrepreneurial spirit needed to make actionable recommendations that will ensure that our city is on the cutting edge of the 21st-century economy.”

    The mayor has asked the task force to put their recommendations in the form of a report, which will be due by April 30, 2021. The report will be presented to the mayor’s office and to the office of City Councilmember Tennell Atkins, who chairs the Economic Development Committee.

    “I have focused much of my career on helping entrepreneurs and innovators become more viable in Dallas. Now, through this Task Force, we can help Dallas become more viable for startups,” Bowles said. “I am grateful to Mayor Johnson for recognizing the importance of entrepreneurs, and together, I have no doubt we can make Dallas a leading hub for innovation.”
